Battery boost for the 2016 BMW i3
Need battery service for the 2016 BMW i3? We arrange it with a trusted shop; the work is never done by CarmaCars. Lights left on overnight are the classic reason for a flat battery.
Your car, your notes
Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 0.6L 2-cylinder hybrid. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. If you have the service history of your i3, have it ready for the shop. It is powered by the 0.6L 2-cylinder hybrid, with rear-wheel drive.
How the request works
Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. You approve the shop's quote before any work.
A car while yours is in the shop
Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
Small things that help
Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can. Look at the tire tread before long trips. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive.
A short checklist
Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there.
Still deciding?
One request: the job, the car, and whether you need a rental meanwhile.
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.
