The 1990 Subaru XT: Winter tires
Your 1990 Subaru XT needs a winter tire change? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. Storing your off-season tires is often something the shop can arrange.
Before the shop sees your XT
If you have the service history of your XT, have it ready for the shop. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Tell the shop the tire size printed on the sidewall; it differs by trim. Under the hood: the 1.8L 4-cylinder and front-wheel drive.
Our part and the shop's part
We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts.
Your rental while you wait
The rental is priced like any other on our site. Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. We hand every car over in person, at your address or at our location.
Small things that help
Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months.
Talking to the shop
Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice. If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours.
Send a request
Ask us, and we tell you whether we can arrange it.
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.
