The 1998 Audi Cabriolet: Battery boost
Battery boost for the 1998 Audi Cabriolet: the work is done by a shop we trust, never by CarmaCars. A battery that struggles in the cold is often near the end of its life.
Before the shop sees your Cabriolet
Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 2.8L 6-cylinder. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Cabriolet. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. The 2.8L 6-cylinder with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at.
From request to repair
We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job.
Keep moving meanwhile
We collect the rental when your car is back. Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
Car care, briefly
Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months.
Before the shop starts
Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours.
Still deciding?
Start with a short request; a person replies within one business day.
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.
