Car diagnostics: how we help
The 2018 Audi SQ5 and a diagnostic check: CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop, and never does the work itself. 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. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. The 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo, paired with an 8-speed automatic, drives it.
What CarmaCars does here
The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. You approve the shop's quote before any work.
A car meanwhile
We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. We hand every car over in person, at your address or at our location.
Between shop visits
Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive.
Talking to the shop
Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon.
Next step
Start with a short request; a person replies within one business day.
