About your 323
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the 323. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car.
Our part and the shop's part
Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name.
A car meanwhile
If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
Getting a clear quote
Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour.
Good habits for your car
Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months. Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for.
