Engine repair for the 1988 Audi 5000
For engine work on the 1988 Audi 5000, a trusted shop does the work and CarmaCars arranges it, with a rental if you need one. Engine work ranges from a leak to a rebuild; the shop inspects the car and quotes it.
Your car, your notes
Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 2.2L 5-cylinder turbo. If you have the service history of your 5000, have it ready for the shop. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. The 2.2L 5-cylinder turbo is what moves it, with front-wheel drive.
From request to repair
The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven.
A car meanwhile
We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. We hand every car over in person, at your address or at our location.
Between shop visits
Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old.
Talking to the shop
If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare.
Send a request
Need the work and a rental? One request covers both.
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.
