Engine repair: how we help
Need engine work for your 2005 Subaru Baja? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it with a trusted shop and keep you driving meanwhile. Engine work ranges from a leak to a rebuild; the shop inspects the car and quotes it.
Your Baja and the shop
Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Baja. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. The 2.5L 4-cylinder does the work, through a 4-speed automatic.
How the request works
Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. 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.
Driving while yours is at the shop
We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. Add a rental to the same request as the repair. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
What to ask
Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. Ask for a written estimate before any work starts.
Good habits for your car
Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due. Check that all lights work every few weeks. Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair.
Want a price?
Ask, and we tell you plainly what we can arrange.
Request engine repair
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.
Rent a car while yours is in in Toronto
