Arranging the work for the R8
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work, but for engine work on the 2018 Audi R8 we arrange a trusted shop. An engine that runs rough, smokes or overheats needs a look soon.
Details the shop needs
Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. If you have the service history of your R8, have it ready for the shop. The 5.2L 10-cylinder does the work, through a 7-speed automatic.
What we arrange
We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven.
Your rental while you wait
A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. Delivery starts at $75 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
Getting a clear quote
Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. Ask for a written estimate before any work starts.
Between shop visits
Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. Look at the tire tread before long trips. Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair.
Send a request
Tell us what is wrong with the car, and we arrange the rest with a trusted shop.
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.
