Arranging the work for the A8
Need battery service for your 2017 Audi A8? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it with a trusted shop and keep you driving meanwhile. Lights left on overnight are the classic reason for a flat battery.
Your A8 and the shop
Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 3.0L 6-cylinder supercharged. If you have the service history of your A8, have it ready for the shop. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. The engine is the 3.0L 6-cylinder supercharged, with all-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic.
What to send us
We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. You approve the shop's quote before any work.
A car while yours is in the shop
A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Getting a clear quote
Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for.
Small things that help
Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance.
Send a request
Describe the problem, and we arrange a trusted shop.
