Arranging the work for the CTS
Need a diagnostic check for your 2012 Cadillac CTS? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it with a trusted shop and keep you driving meanwhile. A warning light is the car asking for a diagnostic scan; the code tells the shop where to look.
Your CTS and the shop
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. If you have the service history of your CTS, have it ready for the shop. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 3.0L 6-cylinder. Its 3.0L 6-cylinder drives through a 6-speed automatic.
Who does what
The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in.
Your rental while you wait
We collect the rental when your car is back. Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
Between shop visits
Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for.
Talking to the shop
Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare.
Still deciding?
A request is free and gets a reply within one business day.
