Car diagnostics: how we help
For a diagnostic check on your 2018 BMW X5, we arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. A steady check engine light needs a check soon; a flashing one means pull over safely and get help.
Your car, your notes
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo. Power: the 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo; drive: all-wheel drive.
Who does what
The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. We keep you posted until the car is booked in. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven.
A car while yours is in the shop
Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. We hand every car over in person, at your address or at our location.
A short checklist
Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used.
Between shop visits
Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance.
Get an offer
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.
