Arranging the work for the Legacy
For a diagnostic check on the 1997 Subaru Legacy, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and rents you a car while yours is in. A warning light is the car asking for a diagnostic scan; the code tells the shop where to look.
Your car, your notes
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them.
Our part and the shop's part
We keep you posted until the car is booked in. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
Add a rental to the same request as the repair. We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
A short checklist
Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up.
Car care, briefly
Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Look at the tire tread before long trips. Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months.
