Engine repair: how we help
For engine work on the 1990 Audi 100, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and never does the work itself. Engine work ranges from a leak to a rebuild; the shop inspects the car and quotes it.
Before the shop sees your 100
Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. If you have the service history of your 100, have it ready for the shop. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. It uses the 2.3L 5-cylinder and all-wheel drive.
How we help
Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. You approve the shop's quote before any work. 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.
Your rental while you wait
We collect the rental when your car is back. Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
Between shop visits
Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. Check that all lights work every few weeks.
Before the shop starts
Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back.
