Towing for the 1988 Subaru XT
Towing for the 1988 Subaru XT: the work is done by a shop we trust, never by CarmaCars. Once you are safe, send a request with where the car is and where it should go.
Before the shop sees your XT
Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Under the hood: the 1.8L 4-cylinder and front-wheel drive.
How the arrangement works
We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there.
A rental while you wait
We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. Rent by the day while the shop has your car. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
Small things that help
Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them.
Talking to the shop
Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. Ask for a written estimate before any work starts.
Ready when you are
Need the work and a rental? One request covers both.
Request towing
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.
