Car diagnostics: how we help
Your 2005 BMW X3 needs a diagnostic check? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. A steady check engine light needs a check soon; a flashing one means pull over safely and get help.
Details the shop needs
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 2.5L 6-cylinder. The 2.5L 6-cylinder does the work, through a 6-speed manual.
How the arrangement works
We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there.
A rental while you wait
Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. The rental is priced like any other on our site. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
Between shop visits
Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires.
A short checklist
Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate.
Ready to ask?
A request is free and gets a reply within one business day.
Request car diagnostics
