Arranging the work for the i8
For a diagnostic check on the BMW i8, 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.
Before the shop sees your i8
Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the i8. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts.
What to send us
We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. We keep you posted until the car is booked in. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven.
A rental while you wait
Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. Rent by the day while the shop has your car. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
What to ask
Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour.
Between shop visits
Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring.
One more step
Send the car's details and the job, and we take the next step.
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.
