Battery boost: how we help
For battery service on the 1984 Audi 5000, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and rents you a car while yours is in. A battery that struggles in the cold is often near the end of its life.
Details the shop needs
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. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. The 2.1L 5-cylinder is the powertrain to look at.
Who does what
You approve the shop's quote before any work. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven.
A car meanwhile
We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. Rent by the day while the shop has your car. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
Getting a clear quote
Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice. Ask for a written estimate before any work starts.
Car care, briefly
Check that all lights work every few weeks. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old.
Your move
Tell us what is wrong with the car, and we arrange the rest with a trusted shop.
Request battery boost
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.
