Engine repair: how we help
Need engine work for your 1992 Mazda MX-3? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it with a trusted shop and keep you driving meanwhile. An engine that runs rough, smokes or overheats needs a look soon.
Details the shop needs
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. The 1.6L 4-cylinder does the work, through a 5-speed manual.
What to send us
You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. You approve the shop's quote before any work.
A car while yours is in the shop
A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
What to ask
Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice. Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare.
Good habits for your car
Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow. Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them.
Talk to a person
Need a rental too? Add it to the same request.
