Arranging the work for the XT
Mechanic for your 1985 Subaru XT: arranged with a trusted shop, never done by CarmaCars, with a rental if you need one. Tell us what the car is doing, and we find a shop suited to the job.
Your car, your notes
Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 1.8L 4-cylinder. The 1.8L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at.
How the request works
The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name.
Keep moving meanwhile
Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
Talking to the shop
Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up.
Small things that help
Look at the tire tread before long trips. Check that all lights work every few weeks. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter.
Send a request
Tell us the job and the car, and a person replies.
Request mechanic
