Car diagnostics: how we help
For a diagnostic check on the 1999 Audi A6, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and never does the work itself. A steady check engine light needs a check soon; a flashing one means pull over safely and get help.
Your car, your notes
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. It is powered by the 2.8L 6-cylinder, with front-wheel drive.
From request to repair
Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name.
A car meanwhile
We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.
Questions to ask the shop
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. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there.
Between shop visits
Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires.
