Car diagnostics: how we help
Car diagnostics for the 2017 Audi A3: the work is done by a shop we trust, never by CarmaCars. A warning light is the car asking for a diagnostic scan; the code tells the shop where to look.
Before the shop sees your A3
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. It is powered by the 1.4L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid, with front-wheel drive.
Who does what
The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name. You approve the shop's quote before any work.
Driving while yours is at the shop
Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
Good habits for your car
Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for.
What to ask
Ask for a written estimate before any work starts. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it.
Over to you
Need a rental too? Add it to the same request.
