Details the shop needs
Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts.
From request to repair

Keep moving meanwhile
A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
Between shop visits
Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule. Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter.
What to ask
