Booking a time
A person reads your request and replies with the next step. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work.
Driving while yours is in
Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. While it is repaired, rent from us: an insurance replacement rental when the repair is a claim your adjuster approves, or at our usual rates. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Timing
We give you a time with the quote, so you can plan a rental for the right number of days. If the work runs longer than planned, we let you know and you can keep the rental.
On the day
Ask any question you have before the work starts. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim.
What goes into a quote
The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes. The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer. Photos let us give a closer price before we see the car in person.
Aftercare
Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car. Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks.
