Arranging the work for the 5000
Car diagnostics for your 1983 Audi 5000: arranged with a trusted shop, never done by CarmaCars, with a rental if you need one. A steady check engine light needs a check soon; a flashing one means pull over safely and get help.
Details the shop needs
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed.
What we arrange
We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there.
Your rental while you wait
We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. Delivery to your door is available across the Toronto area.
A short checklist
Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up.
Car care, briefly
Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. Check that all lights work every few weeks. Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt.
Talk to a person
Start with a short request; a person replies within one business day.
Request car diagnostics
