Engine repair: how we help

Before the shop sees your CX-3
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the CX-3. The engine is the 2.0L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive and a 6-speed automatic.
What to send us
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. You approve the shop's quote before any work.
A car meanwhile
We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. We collect the rental when your car is back. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
What to ask
If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it.
Between shop visits
Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can.
