The ferry village downstream · 20 minutes down the river road
Built around the ferry and the shift change.
Sheridan Landing is twenty minutes downstream, and most mornings start in the ferry lane. We book Landing drivers around shift times, take keys before the 7 a.m. crossing, and call with photos before 3. A car that idles in a winter ferry lineup needs a battery and a block heater that work.
What the Sheridan Landing roads do to a vehicle
Idling in the lineup
Ten minutes of idling at minus fifteen is hard on a battery and gives the oil no chance to warm up. We test the battery free and check the block heater cord while the car is in.
Battery & charging · test free, from $189 fittedWhy does my car battery die in the cold? →Wet ramps and river fog
The ferry ramp is steel, wet and steep on both ends. Tires that are fine in town lose grip there first. We measure tread at every visit and tell you the number.
Tire changeover · $60/$95, flatHow do I know when my tires need replacing? →Commuter kilometres add up
Two crossings a day and the river road each way is real mileage. Oil, brakes and tires come due sooner than the calendar suggests, so we track them by kilometres.
Oil & filter service · from $89How often should I change my oil? →Getting the car to us
Drop before the first crossing
The key slot by the office door works any hour. Leave the keys before the 7 a.m. ferry and the car is on the hoist by 8.
Shift workers pick up after 5
Pay by phone when we call, and we park the car out front and text you the lockbox code. Your car waits for you after close.
