From the Charger to the Durango, Dodges deserve a shop that knows their Hemis, transmissions, and quirks. Our Warwick technicians service every Dodge model with proper tools, factory-spec parts, and 17 years of hands-on experience — at a fraction of dealership pricing.
Dodges have a loyal following in Rhode Island. Chargers and Challengers cruising Post Road on summer evenings. Durangos hauling family duty between East Greenwich and Cranston. Grand Caravans running carpool through Apponaug. Each one deserves a shop that understands Dodge engines, drivetrains, and quirks — without the dealership wait or markup.
Primary Care Auto Repair has served Warwick and the rest of Kent County for 17 years. Owner Jeff Roy and our technicians work on every Dodge lineup — Charger, Challenger, Durango, Journey, Grand Caravan, Dart, Avenger, and the Ram trucks. Our team has seen the 5.7L Hemi tick, the 6.4L MDS lifter failures, the 8-speed ZF transmission quirks, and the Pentastar V6 rocker arm issues. We diagnose them quickly, fix them right, and skip dealership prices.
Every Dodge repair includes a free video inspection sent straight to your phone. You see the worn part, the leaking gasket, or the failed sensor before any work is recommended. That kind of straight-up communication is why Dodge owners from Apponaug, Conimicut, Hoxsie, Cowesett, and Oakland Beach trust our Warwick auto shop for everything from quick oil changes to major engine work.
The shop sits at 33 Locust Ave, just off Post Road, minutes from Warwick Mall, T.F. Green Airport, and the Route 2 corridor. Easy access from I-95 and Route 117 makes drop-off simple from anywhere in Kent County. Most Dodge service jobs are completed same day, with bigger repairs quoted upfront and finished on a clear timeline.

Every Dodge has its own pattern of issues. Knowing which ones are common — and which are urgent — saves you time and money. Here are the Dodge problems we diagnose and fix most at our Warwick shop.
That cold-start tick on 5.7L Hemi engines often points to lifter or rocker arm wear. We diagnose with a scope, replace failed components, and recommend MDS solutions to prevent it from happening again.
The Multi-Displacement System lifters in 6.4L Hemi engines are a known weak point. We replace failed lifters, inspect cam lobes, and can disable MDS to prevent repeat failures.
3.6L Pentastar engines in Charger, Durango, and Grand Caravan are known for rocker arm failure that triggers misfires and ticking. Quick diagnosis, quality repair.
Hard shifts, hesitation, or warning lights on the 8-speed ZF in Charger and Challenger often start with a software update or fluid service. We diagnose first, then fix.
Rear differentials on RWD Chargers and Challengers need fluid service every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. Skipped service leads to whining, vibration, and expensive failures.
The Totally Integrated Power Module on older Dodges is a common failure point — causing random electrical gremlins, fuel pump issues, and warning lights. We diagnose and replace properly.
From routine maintenance to major repairs, our technicians handle every Dodge model and every Dodge engine — Hemi V8, Pentastar V6, EcoDiesel, and 4-cylinder.
Factory-spec oil and filters for every Dodge engine — including 5W-20, 0W-40 for SRT engines, and Mopar-approved synthetics. Multi-point inspection included. See oil change service.
Quality pads and rotors sized correctly for every Dodge — from Dart to Durango SRT. Heavy-duty options for trucks and performance options for SRT models. See brake repair.
MDS lifter replacement, rocker arm repair, intake gasket service, and timing chain work on Hemi and Pentastar engines. Full engine work done in-shop with quality parts.
Service for the 8HP70/75 ZF 8-speed, 5-speed Mercedes 722.6, and older 545RFE transmissions. Fluid exchange, valve body work, and full diagnostics. See transmission repair.
Water pumps, thermostats, radiators, and coolant flushes on every Dodge engine. We catch leaks early to protect the engine from heat damage.
Ball joints, tie rods, control arms, struts, and shocks for cars, SUVs, and pickups. Critical for safe handling on RI roads after winter pothole season.
Check engine lights, TIPM modules, UConnect issues, and electrical gremlins. Our scan tools talk to every Dodge module. See check engine light.
AC recharge, compressor replacement, heater core service, and blend door repair on every Dodge model. See AC & heat repair.

Charger, Challenger, Durango, Journey, Grand Caravan, Dart, Avenger, and Ram trucks. Every generation, every engine.
A 2008 Charger R/T and a 2024 Charger Daytona EV are completely different vehicles. Different engines, different transmissions, different electronics. Some Warwick shops only handle the easy stuff. We service the full Dodge lineup — old and new, V8 muscle and V6 family haulers — with the right scan tools, factory-spec parts, and the patience to diagnose properly. That's why so many Kent County Dodge owners send their friends our way.

Quick answers to the Dodge questions we hear most often at the shop.
Service costs depend on the job. Oil changes, brake jobs, and routine maintenance are typically much less than dealership pricing. Bigger repairs like Hemi lifters or transmission work are quoted upfront after diagnosis. No surprises at pickup.
Yes. We diagnose the actual source — lifters, rocker arms, or MDS components — and replace the failed parts. Many cases can be addressed without a full top-end teardown if caught early.
Yes. We service Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 trucks alongside the rest of the Dodge lineup. Hemi V8, Pentastar V6, and Cummins diesel — all handled in-house.
No. We use factory-spec parts and proper scan tools to handle most Dodge service jobs — usually for less than dealership pricing. Your warranty stays intact when service is done by qualified techs with documentation.
Most maintenance and routine repairs are same-day service. Bigger jobs like MDS lifters, transmission work, or head gasket repair may need the vehicle for 2 to 5 days. We give a clear timeline at drop-off.
Yes. We service SRT models including Charger SRT, Challenger Hellcat, and Durango SRT — performance brakes, fluid services, and engine diagnostics. Bring it in and we'll talk through what your vehicle needs.
