Confession: I’m not very savvy when it comes to automobiles.
In fact, in the 20+ years that I’ve been a driver (which is probably mathematically impossible since I’m like, only 25-years old) I’ve managed to locate the ignition, the windshield wipers and (maybe) the fuel tank. It’s embarrassing, I agree – but with a little luck, to date I haven’t had a major malfunction which required immediate assistance.
Still, I live in fear.
What if my engine light goes on in the middle of nowhere? Or, if I’m in an accident, do I have to go with the first tow truck that shows up on the scene? If I do incur damage to my car, how do I know that I’m being quoted fairly for routine and not-so-routine maintenance and repairs?
And, if you’re crazy busy like me, maybe you’ll wonder if there’s some way the garage can come to you.
Introducing WeeL.WeeL is a platform that connects drivers with trusted auto repair professionals in the Greater Toronto Area certified by WeeL.

Whether you’re looking for the best local spot to get an oil change, vehicle inspection, windshield repair or even a simple car wash, WeeL will provide impartial and friendly advice and will connect you with a qualified service provider who will address your automotive needs. They can also connect you with mobile service providers who can bring the garage to you!

And remember, you can always go back to WeeL for a second – or third – opinion if you’re not totally digging the provider you’re connected with. Think of WeeL as your buddy in the car industry; someone you can bounce ideas off of when you’re not totally sure how to go about arranging automobile repairs or services.

With winter quickly approaching, WeeL wants to put drivers back in the driver’s seat when it comes to vehicle maintenance and ensure they’re prepared for the stormy weather ahead. As such, WeeL has partnered with vendors across the GTA to offer users preferred pricing on the purchase and installation of new winter tires and winter vehicle maintenance.
I recently had the opportunity to test out the WeeL network; they generously connected me with Changes on the Fly, one of their preferred service partners, to perform a winter tire installation – right in my very own driveway!
The technician was knowledgeable, friendly and extremely professional. He arrived on time and finished the installation in about 30 minutes. The best part? I didn’t have to leave my home! No waiting in drafty waiting areas, no taking time off work. I watched the entire process from the comfort of my home office.
If it’s time for you to install your winter tires or purchase new ones, I absolutely recommend that you connect with WeeL for the best service and best prices!
In fact, just for Listen to Lena readers, WeeL has offered a very special coupon code: LENA25. You’ll receive $25 off any service over $100.
WeeL removes the worry and stress from car maintenance by delivering a quality service provider, fair pricing and assurance the vehicle is properly maintained and safe. I encourage you to download the app via iTunes or Android or bookmark the website in advance of the winter season; you never know when you’ll need emergency support or vehicle repairs.

Sounds like a really cool service for those living in the Greater Toronto Area . Thankfully I have a super garage here in my small town and I even get chauffeured home and picked up again when they’re finished.

This sounds great. I also don’t like to deal with a lot of the issues with my vehicle, I’ve never even changed a tire, nor would I know how to.
