Arranging the work for the A6
For a diagnostic check on the 1997 Audi A6, a trusted shop does the work and CarmaCars arranges it, 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.
Your A6 and the shop
Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 2.8L 6-cylinder. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. The powertrain here is the 2.8L 6-cylinder with all-wheel drive and a 4-speed automatic.
What to send us
We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name.
Keep moving meanwhile
We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. We collect the rental when your car is back. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.
A short checklist
Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon.
Car care, briefly
Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive.
Ready to ask?
Start with the car, the job and your location.
