Your car, your notes
Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. The powertrain here is the 1.5L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual.
What to send us
You approve the shop's quote before any work. 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. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work.
Your rental while you wait
We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. The rental is priced like any other on our site. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
Small things that help
Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them.
Talking to the shop
Ask for a written estimate before any work starts. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours.
Questions first?
Ask us, and we tell you whether we can arrange it.
