The Subaru Brat: Mechanic

For mechanical repairs or maintenance on the Subaru Brat, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and rents you a car while yours is in. Regular maintenance keeps small problems from turning into large ones.

About your Brat

If you have the service history of your Brat, have it ready for the shop. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car.

The steps

Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there.

A rental while you wait

We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.

Good habits for your car

Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due.

Getting a clear quote

Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree.

When you know your dates

Send the car's details and the job, and we take the next step.

Request mechanic

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.
