Engine repair: how we help
For engine work on your 1997 Audi A6, we arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. An engine that runs rough, smokes or overheats needs a look soon.
About your A6
Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. It is powered by the 2.8L 6-cylinder, with all-wheel drive.
What CarmaCars does here
We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us.
A car meanwhile
Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Small things that help
Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected.
Want a price?
Send the car's details and the job, and we take the next step.
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.
