Battery boost: how we help
Need battery service for your 2005 Ford Focus? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it with a trusted shop and keep you driving meanwhile. A slow crank on a cold morning is often the first sign of a tired battery.
Your Focus and the shop
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Focus. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. The 2.0L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at.
Who does what
We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name. We keep you posted until the car is booked in. You approve the shop's quote before any work.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
We collect the rental when your car is back. Rent by the day while the shop has your car. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
Small things that help
Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours.
Still deciding?
Send a request: the car, the problem and when suits you.
