About your 9-3
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. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. The engine is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive and a 6-speed manual.
Our part and the shop's part
Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car.
Stay on the road
Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. Delivery starts at $75 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
Before the shop starts
Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies.
Car care, briefly
Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold.
