Battery boost for the 1983 Ford Thunderbird

Details the shop needs
Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them.
Our part and the shop's part
We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. We keep you posted until the car is booked in. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us.
Stay on the road
Rent by the day while the shop has your car. Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back.
Between shop visits
Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. Look at the tire tread before long trips.
One more step
A request is free and gets a reply within one business day.
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.
