Engine repair: how we help
For engine work on your 2015 BMW i3, we arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. An engine that runs rough, smokes or overheats needs a look soon.
Before the shop sees your i3
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 0.6L 2-cylinder hybrid. Its powertrain is the 0.6L 2-cylinder hybrid with rear-wheel drive.
What CarmaCars does here
You approve the shop's quote before any work. We keep you posted until the car is booked in. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job.
A car while yours is in the shop
We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
Between shop visits
Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon.
Ask us
Ask in your request, and we tell you plainly what we can arrange.
