Engine repair: how we help
Your 2012 Honda Insight 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.
Your Insight and the shop
Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 1.3L 4-cylinder hybrid. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. It uses the 1.3L 4-cylinder hybrid and front-wheel drive.
Our part and the shop's part
Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in.
A rental while you wait
We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. 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. Check that all lights work every few weeks. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for.
Talking to the shop
Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for.
Questions first?
Tell us what is wrong with the car, and we arrange the rest with a trusted shop.
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
