Battery boost: how we help
Battery boost for the 2011 BMW Active E: the work is done by a shop we trust, never by CarmaCars. A slow crank on a cold morning is often the first sign of a tired battery.
Details the shop needs
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. An electric car also has a small 12 V battery that can go flat like any other. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. It is powered by the electric motor, with rear-wheel drive.
How the request works
Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. You agree everything with the shop before work begins. 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.
Keep moving meanwhile
We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate.
Small things that help
Look at the tire tread before long trips. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires.
Let us know
Tell us the job and the car, and a person replies.
