Arranging the work for the Legacy
Need a diagnostic check for your 2001 Subaru Legacy? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it with a trusted shop and keep you driving meanwhile. A steady check engine light needs a check soon; a flashing one means pull over safely and get help.
Your car, your notes
If you have the service history of your Legacy, have it ready for the shop. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them.
How the arrangement works
You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name.
A car meanwhile
The rental is priced like any other on our site. If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Between shop visits
Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt.
Talking to the shop
Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice.
Want a price?
Need a rental too? Add it to the same request.
