The Subaru Forester: Winter tires
For a winter tire change on the Subaru Forester, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and rents you a car while yours is in. Tread depth matters for grip in rain and snow; the shop measures it.
Details the shop needs
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. If you have the service history of your Forester, have it ready for the shop.
The steps
We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in.
Your rental while you wait
A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Good habits for your car
Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them.
A short checklist
Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there.
Make a request
Start with the car, the job and your location.
Request winter tires
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.
