The 1985 Subaru Brat: Car diagnostics

Your 1985 Subaru Brat needs a diagnostic check? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. A warning light is the car asking for a diagnostic scan; the code tells the shop where to look.

Before the shop sees your Brat

Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Brat. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. The 1.8L 4-cylinder, paired with a 4-speed manual, drives it.

From request to repair

We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. You approve the shop's quote before any work. 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 meanwhile

Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. Add a rental to the same request as the repair. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.

Before the shop starts

If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept.

Small things that help

Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due. Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair.

Let us know

Ask, and we tell you plainly what we can arrange.

Request car diagnostics

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.
