Engine repair: how we help
For engine work on your 2018 Subaru Impreza, we arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. Engine work ranges from a leak to a rebuild; the shop inspects the car and quotes it.
Your Impreza and the shop
Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. If you have the service history of your Impreza, have it ready for the shop. The powertrain here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder with all-wheel drive and an automatic (CVT).
From request to repair
The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there.
A car while yours is in the shop
Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
What to ask
Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate. 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.
Between shop visits
Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter.
Talk to a person
Ask us, and we tell you whether we can arrange it.
