Engine repair: how we help
CarmaCars does not do this work itself. For engine work on the 1988 Subaru Hatchback, we arrange it with a trusted shop or connect you with one. Engine work ranges from a leak to a rebuild; the shop inspects the car and quotes it.
Your Hatchback and the shop
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. If you have the service history of your Hatchback, have it ready for the shop. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. It runs the 1.8L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive.
How the arrangement works
You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. You approve the shop's quote before any work.
A rental while you wait
Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. Add a rental to the same request as the repair. Delivery to your door is available across the Toronto area.
Talking to the shop
If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history.
Small things that help
Look at the tire tread before long trips. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter.
Ready when you are
Start with a short request; a person replies within one business day.
