Details the shop needs
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. The powertrain to know here is the 3.0L 6-cylinder, with front-wheel drive.

Your rental while you wait
We collect the rental when your car is back. Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
Before the shop starts
Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for.
Car care, briefly
Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due. Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt.
Ready when you are
