Your car, your notes
Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. The 1.6L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at.
What to send us
We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name.
Your rental while you wait
We collect the rental when your car is back. We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.
A short checklist
Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up.
Between shop visits
Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell.
Ask us
Start with a short request; a person replies within one business day.
