Battery boost: how we help
For battery service on the 1986 Subaru Wagon, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and never does the work itself. A battery that struggles in the cold is often near the end of its life.
About your Wagon
Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. If you have the service history of your Wagon, have it ready for the shop. The powertrain here is the 1.8L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual.
How we help
Send a request with the car and what it needs; a person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one. We keep you posted until the car is booked in. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop.
A rental while you wait
Rent by the day while the shop has your car. We collect the rental when your car is back. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour.
Small things that help
Look at the tire tread before long trips. Check that all lights work every few weeks. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive.
