Arranging the work for the A8
For an emissions test on the 1998 Audi A8, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and rents you a car while yours is in. Emissions tests are required in some provinces and states; a licensed shop does the test.
About your A8
Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. If you have the service history of your A8, have it ready for the shop. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. The 3.7L 8-cylinder, paired with a 5-speed automatic, drives it.
What CarmaCars does here
The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work.
Stay on the road
Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. The rental is priced like any other on our site. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.
A short checklist
Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon.
Small things that help
Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires. Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months.
Over to you
Start with the car, the job and your location.
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.
