Battery boost: how we help
For battery service on the 2016 Audi A8, 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.
About your A8
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. It uses the 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo and all-wheel drive.
What CarmaCars does here
Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. Send a request with the car and what it needs; a person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop.
A car while yours is in the shop
If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
Good habits for your car
Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months. Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair.
Talking to the shop
If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. 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.
