Arranging the work for the Q5
Your 2018 Audi Q5 needs a diagnostic check? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. A warning light is the car asking for a diagnostic scan; the code tells the shop where to look.
Your car, your notes
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Under the hood: the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo and all-wheel drive.
What CarmaCars does here
You approve the shop's quote before any work. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven.
Driving while yours is at the shop
The rental is priced like any other on our site. Add a rental to the same request as the repair. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon.
Small things that help
Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow.
Talk to a person
Send a request: the car, the problem and when suits you.
