Engine repair: how we help
Your 2003 Ford Taurus needs engine work? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. An engine that runs rough, smokes or overheats needs a look soon.
About your Taurus
Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Taurus. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. If you have the service history of your Taurus, have it ready for the shop. The engine is the 3.0L 6-cylinder, with front-wheel drive and a 4-speed automatic.
How the request works
Send a request with the car and what it needs; a person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. You approve the shop's quote before any work.
Keep moving meanwhile
A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies.
Good habits for your car
Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold.
