Engine repair: how we help

Need engine work for your 2004 BMW X3? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it with a trusted shop and keep you driving meanwhile. Engine work ranges from a leak to a rebuild; the shop inspects the car and quotes it.

Before the shop sees your X3

Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 2.5L 6-cylinder. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. The 2.5L 6-cylinder is what moves it, with all-wheel drive.

Our part and the shop's part

We keep you posted until the car is booked in. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven.

Keep moving meanwhile

A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. The rental is priced like any other on our site. Delivery to your door is available across the Toronto area.

Good habits for your car

Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can. Check that all lights work every few weeks.

Questions to ask the shop

If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree.

Questions first?

Ask, and we tell you plainly what we can arrange.

Request engine repair

Tell us when suits you. A person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one; the shop sets its own price and time.

Rent a car while yours is in in Toronto
