Battery boost: how we help
Battery boost for the 2012 Audi S5: the work is done by a shop we trust, never by CarmaCars. Lights left on overnight are the classic reason for a flat battery.
About your S5
Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the S5. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 3.0L 6-cylinder supercharged. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Under the hood: the 3.0L 6-cylinder supercharged and all-wheel drive.
How the request works
We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts.
Stay on the road
We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Car care, briefly
Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule.
Before the shop starts
Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up.
Make a request
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.
