Battery boost: how we help
Your 2012 Volvo XC70 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 XC70 and the shop
Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 3.2L 6-cylinder. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Power: the 3.2L 6-cylinder; drive: front-wheel drive.
How we help
We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there.
A car while yours is in the shop
Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
What to ask
Ask for a written estimate before any work starts. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree.
Good habits for your car
Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow. Look at the tire tread before long trips.
Send a request
Tell us the job and the car, and a person replies.
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.
