Your request
We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. A person reads your request and replies with the next step.
Stay on the road
While it is repaired, rent from us: an insurance replacement rental when the repair is a claim your adjuster approves, or at our usual rates. Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
Timing
You can plan the rental for the same number of days as the work. We confirm how long the car will be with us when we confirm the price.
Why prices differ
If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price. Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do. We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear.
Keeping it that way
Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car. Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks.
Getting the car ready
Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day.
