Battery boost: how we help
Your 2015 Subaru WRX needs battery service? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. A battery that struggles in the cold is often near the end of its life.
Your car, your notes
Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo with all-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at.
The steps
Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. 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.
A car while yours is in the shop
Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. Delivery to your door is available across the Toronto area.
A short checklist
Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate.
Good habits for your car
Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule.
Your move
Need the work and a rental? One request covers both.
Request battery boost
Tell us when suits you. A person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one; the shop sets its own price and time.
