Arranging the work for the Sunbird
Need engine work for your Pontiac Sunbird? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it with a trusted shop and keep you driving meanwhile. Engine work ranges from a leak to a rebuild; the shop inspects the car and quotes it.
Your car, your notes
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop.
How the arrangement works
The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date.
A rental while you wait
We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
What to ask
Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history.
Good habits for your car
Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter.
Over to you
A request is free and gets a reply within one business day.
Request engine repair
Tell us when suits you. A person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one; the shop sets its own price and time.
