Battery boost: how we help
Searching for battery boost for the BMW i8? CarmaCars does not do this work itself; we arrange it with a trusted shop. A battery that struggles in the cold is often near the end of its life.
Before the shop sees your i8
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. If you have the service history of your i8, have it ready for the shop. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them.
What we arrange
Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven.
A car while yours is in the shop
Rent by the day while the shop has your car. Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Small things that help
Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring.
Before the shop starts
Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up.
One more step
Ask in your request, and we tell you plainly what we can arrange.
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.
