Arranging the work for the A4
Your 1996 Audi A4 needs an emissions test? We arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. Rules on emissions testing differ by province and state.
About your A4
Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 2.8L 6-cylinder. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the A4. The 2.8L 6-cylinder, paired with a 5-speed manual, drives it.
The steps
We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there.
Stay on the road
Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
Small things that help
If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours.
Let us know
Send a request with the car and what it needs, and a person replies within one business day.
Request emissions test
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.
