Arranging the work for the Z8
The 2001 BMW Z8 and battery service: CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop, and never does the work itself. Lights left on overnight are the classic reason for a flat battery.
About your Z8
If you have the service history of your Z8, have it ready for the shop. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Power: the 4.9L 8-cylinder; drive: rear-wheel drive.
The steps
Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. You approve the shop's quote before any work.
Driving while yours is at the shop
The rental is priced like any other on our site. If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.
Small things that help
Look at the tire tread before long trips. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring.
What to ask
Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for.
Get an offer
Send a request with the car and what it needs, and a person replies within one business day.
