Arranging the work for the A4
Battery boost for your 1999 Audi A4: arranged with a trusted shop, never done by CarmaCars, with a rental if you need one. Lights left on overnight are the classic reason for a flat battery.
About your A4
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. It runs the 1.8L 4-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive.
Our part and the shop's part
The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. You agree everything with the shop before work begins. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car.
Keep moving meanwhile
Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare.
Small things that help
Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Check that all lights work every few weeks.
