Arranging the work for the 5000
Need engine work for the 1983 Audi 5000? We arrange it with a trusted shop; the work is never done by CarmaCars. An engine that runs rough, smokes or overheats needs a look soon.
Before the shop sees your 5000
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them.
Who does what
We keep you posted until the car is booked in. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name.
A car meanwhile
We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. Rent by the day while the shop has your car. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.
Between shop visits
Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow. 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.
Talking to the shop
Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours.
Next step
Need a rental too? Add it to the same request.
Request engine repair
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.
