The 1986 Subaru Wagon: Engine repair
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work. For engine work on the 1986 Subaru Wagon, we connect you with a trusted shop. An engine that runs rough, smokes or overheats needs a look soon.
Details the shop needs
Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Wagon. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. Power comes from the 1.8L 4-cylinder, driving through a 5-speed manual.
From request to repair
We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. We keep you posted until the car is booked in.
Your rental while you wait
Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. Add a rental to the same request as the repair. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
What to ask
If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept.
Between shop visits
Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell.
Over to you
One request: the job, the car, and whether you need a rental meanwhile.
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.
