Battery boost: how we help
Need battery service for the 2018 BMW X1? 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.
About your X1
If you have the service history of your X1, have it ready for the shop. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, paired with an 8-speed automatic, drives it.
What CarmaCars does here
The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. 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. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job.
Keep moving meanwhile
A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
What to ask
Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it.
Small things that help
Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold.
Your move
Send the car's details and the job, and we take the next step.
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.
