Equipment and exact steps depend on your vehicle make and year; we confirm scope and price on the phone before dispatch.

We target roughly a 15–30 minute response window across much of the GTA when a technician is available near you; actual ETA depends on traffic and current demand. Mention Toronto and your address when you call (647) 557-8103 so we can give an honest arrival estimate.
