About your Suburban
Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Suburban. If you have the service history of your Suburban, have it ready for the shop. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed.
Our part and the shop's part
We keep you posted until the car is booked in. Send a request with the car and what it needs; a person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name.
A rental while you wait
A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Talking to the shop
Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree.
Good habits for your car
Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter.
Your move
One request: the job, the car, and whether you need a rental meanwhile.
