Arranging the work for the A6
For engine work on the 1996 Audi A6, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and never does the work itself. An engine that runs rough, smokes or overheats needs a look soon.
Details the shop needs
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. The 2.8L 6-cylinder with all-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at.
What to send us
Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. You approve the shop's quote before any work. You agree everything with the shop before work begins.
A car meanwhile
Rent by the day while the shop has your car. A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
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. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due.
Talking to the shop
Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for.
When you know your dates
Need the work and a rental? One request covers both.
