Arranging the work for the Legacy/Outback
For a wheel alignment on the 2008 Subaru Legacy/Outback, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and rents you a car while yours is in. A crooked steering wheel on a straight road is a common sign the alignment is off.
Before the shop sees your Legacy/Outback
Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. If you have the service history of your Legacy/Outback, have it ready for the shop. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 2.5L 4-cylinder. The 2.5L 4-cylinder with all-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at.
Who does what
We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there.
A car while yours is in the shop
Add a rental to the same request as the repair. Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
Questions to ask the shop
If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you.
Small things that help
Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring.
One more step
A request is free and gets a reply within one business day.
Request wheel alignment
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.
