Arranging the work for the Encore
Your 2018 Buick Encore needs engine work? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. Engine work ranges from a leak to a rebuild; the shop inspects the car and quotes it.
About your Encore
Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 1.4L 4-cylinder turbo. The 1.4L 4-cylinder turbo is what moves it, with front-wheel drive.
From request to repair
We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name. 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.
A rental while you wait
A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. We collect the rental when your car is back. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
Between shop visits
Check that all lights work every few weeks. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive.
Before the shop starts
Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours.
Get an offer
A request is free and gets a reply within one business day.
