Your car, your notes
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them.

A rental while you wait
The rental is priced like any other on our site. Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
Car care, briefly
Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires.
Before the shop starts
Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there.
