Car diagnostics for the 2011 BMW Active E
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work, but for a diagnostic check on the 2011 BMW Active E we arrange a trusted shop. A warning light is the car asking for a diagnostic scan; the code tells the shop where to look.
Your Active E and the shop
Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. The electric motor, paired with a 1-speed automatic, drives it.
What to send us
Send a request with the car and what it needs; a person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
Car care, briefly
Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can. Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months. Check that all lights work every few weeks.
Before the shop starts
Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies.
One more step
One request: the job, the car, and whether you need a rental meanwhile.

Tell us when suits you. A person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one; the shop sets its own price and time.
