A rental while yours is in the shop
CarmaCars does not do this work; you keep driving while the shop has your car. We deliver a rental to you, by the day, at our usual rates.

Arranging the work for the i3
Car diagnostics for the BMW i3: the work is done by a shop we trust, never by CarmaCars. A steady check engine light needs a check soon; a flashing one means pull over safely and get help.
Your i3 and the shop
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. If you have the service history of your i3, have it ready for the shop.
The steps
The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. You approve the shop's quote before any work. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop.
Driving while yours is at the shop
We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected.
Between shop visits
Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them.
Your move
Ask us, and we tell you whether we can arrange it.
Request car diagnostics
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.
