Arranging the work for the i3

Car diagnostics for the 2019 BMW i3: the work is done by a shop we trust, never by CarmaCars. A warning light is the car asking for a diagnostic scan; the code tells the shop where to look.

Details the shop needs

Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. The powertrain here is the 0.6L 2-cylinder hybrid with rear-wheel drive and a 1-speed automatic.

From request to repair

We keep you posted until the car is booked in. 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.

A car while yours is in the shop

A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. We collect the rental when your car is back. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.

Small things that help

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. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires.

Getting a clear quote

Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours.

Send a request

A short request starts it: the car, the problem, and when suits you.

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.
