Arranging the work for the Forester
For a tow on the 1998 Subaru Forester, a trusted shop does the work and CarmaCars arranges it, with a rental if you need one. Once you are safe, send a request with where the car is and where it should go.
Your car, your notes
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. If you have the service history of your Forester, have it ready for the shop. It runs the 2.5L 4-cylinder, with all-wheel drive.
How the request works
We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. Send a request with the car and what it needs; a person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there.
Keep moving meanwhile
We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
Before the shop starts
Ask for a written estimate before any work starts. If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there.
Car care, briefly
Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold.
Ready when you are
