The 2003 Audi A8: Engine repair
Your 2003 Audi A8 needs engine work? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. An engine that runs rough, smokes or overheats needs a look soon.
Your car, your notes
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. The engine is the 4.2L 8-cylinder, with all-wheel drive and a 5-speed automatic.
The steps
Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop.
A car meanwhile
We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask for a written estimate before any work starts. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies.
Small things that help
If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive.
Questions first?
A request is free and gets a reply within one business day.
