Mechanic: how we help
Your 1982 Ford LTD needs mechanical repairs or maintenance? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. Regular maintenance keeps small problems from turning into large ones.
Details the shop needs
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts.
From request to repair
Send a request with the car and what it needs; a person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
Small things that help
Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can. Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for.
Talking to the shop
If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice. Ask for a written estimate before any work starts.
Ready to ask?
Describe the problem, and we arrange a trusted shop.
