Arranging the work for the DeVille
Need engine work for your 1996 Cadillac DeVille? 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 DeVille
Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. The 4.6L 8-cylinder does the work, through a 4-speed automatic.
Our part and the shop's part
We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name.
A rental while you wait
A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. 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.
Small things that help
Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Look at the tire tread before long trips. Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies.
Let us know
Need the work and a rental? One request covers both.
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.
