Booking options

Request an appointment or book online

Shops marked Instant booking show open times and confirm the selected time. For Request appointment, MapleDriven sends the request to the shop and confirms to you that it was sent; do not travel to the shop until it accepts or contacts you. You pay the shop directly for its work.

Prices appear only when a shop lists them. A starting price is not a final estimate and can vary by vehicle, parts and required work. Ask for a written estimate and approve added work only after the shop explains it.

Before you go

What to tell the shop

  • Which inspection you need (out-of-province, pre-purchase, safety)
  • For out-of-province: bring the registry Request for Inspection form
  • For pre-purchase: the seller’s location and a time they can make the car available
  • Vehicle year, make, model and VIN if you have it
