Engine repair: how we help
For engine work on your 2018 Subaru WRX, 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.
About your WRX
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. If you have the service history of your WRX, have it ready for the shop. The engine is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with all-wheel drive and a 6-speed manual.
How the request works
You agree everything with the shop before work begins. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date.
A car meanwhile
Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. Delivery starts at $75 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
Getting a clear quote
Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies.
Car care, briefly
Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt.
When you know your dates
Need a rental too? Add it to the same request.
