The work

What we do, and what it costs

Prices below are typical all-in labour for a standard passenger car or light truck in the GTA. Parts are quoted separately at cost plus a flat markup, and you approve everything before a wrench moves. If a job turns out to be smaller than quoted, you pay the smaller number.

How it works

Your driveway is the shop

Most of what a garage does to your car doesn't need a garage. Brakes, batteries, starters, alternators, plugs, fluids, sensors, suspension — all of it fits in the back of the van, and all of it can be done in the spot where your car is already parked.

You call, describe what the car is doing, and we give you a window. A licensed mechanic shows up with the tools and the parts, does the work, and shows you the old parts before they go in the bin. If the job genuinely needs a lift or a shop bay, we say so on the phone rather than after we've arrived.

Route 401 has been working on Rexdale and Etobicoke vehicles for years — the same stretch of the city where the 401, 427 and 409 all tangle together and a dead car is a real problem. We know what winter does to a battery here, and we know what the potholes on Islington do to a front end.

Practical details

Hours, location, and how to reach us

“A car that won't start isn't a mystery. It's a battery, a starter, or a wire — and one of the three is always cheaper than a tow.”
