Battery boost: how we help
Need battery service for your 2015 Subaru Forester? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it with a trusted shop and keep you driving meanwhile. A slow crank on a cold morning is often the first sign of a tired battery.
Before the shop sees your Forester
Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. If you have the service history of your Forester, have it ready for the shop. It runs the 2.5L 4-cylinder, with all-wheel drive.
How the arrangement works
The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. You approve the shop's quote before any work.
Stay on the road
Rent by the day while the shop has your car. The rental is priced like any other on our site. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
Good habits for your car
Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter.
A short checklist
Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history.
Your move
Start with a short request; a person replies within one business day.
