Details the shop needs

What we arrange

Your rental while you wait
Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. We collect the rental when your car is back. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.
Good habits for your car
Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive.
Questions to ask the shop
