Arranging the work for the Nova
Your 1985 Chevrolet Nova needs battery service? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. A battery that struggles in the cold is often near the end of its life.
Your car, your notes
Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Nova. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Power comes from the 1.6L 4-cylinder, driving through a 5-speed manual.
Our part and the shop's part
We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there.
Keep moving meanwhile
Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. Add a rental to the same request as the repair. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
Between shop visits
Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter.
What to ask
Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there.
Still deciding?
Start with the car, the job and your location.
Request battery boost
Tell us when suits you. A person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one; the shop sets its own price and time.
