The 2010 Audi A3: Car diagnostics

Need a diagnostic check for your 2010 Audi A3? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it with a trusted shop and keep you driving meanwhile. A steady check engine light needs a check soon; a flashing one means pull over safely and get help.

About your A3

If you have the service history of your A3, have it ready for the shop. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the A3. The engine is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive and a 6-speed automatic.

What we arrange

You agree everything with the shop before work begins. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts.

Keep moving meanwhile

We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.

Good habits for your car

Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive.

Before the shop starts

Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare.

Send a request

Need a rental too? Add it to the same request.

Request car diagnostics

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.
