Before the shop sees your WCA
Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the WCA. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts.

A car while yours is in the shop
Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. Delivery starts at $75 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
A short checklist
If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours.
Between shop visits
Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive.

A short request starts it: the car, the problem, and when suits you.
