Battery boost: how we help
For battery service on the 2018 Subaru WRX, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and rents you a car while yours is in. Lights left on overnight are the classic reason for a flat battery.
Before the shop sees your WRX
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. If you have the service history of your WRX, have it ready for the shop. It is powered by the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with all-wheel drive.
How the request works
You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop.
A rental while you wait
Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
Car care, briefly
Check that all lights work every few weeks. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow.
A short checklist
Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate. Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history.
Let us know
Send a request with the car and what it needs, and a person replies within one business day.
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.
