Arranging the work for the i8
Need engine work for the 2015 BMW i8? We arrange it with a trusted shop; the work is never done by CarmaCars. An engine that runs rough, smokes or overheats needs a look soon.
About your i8
Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the i8. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Power comes from the 1.5L 3-cylinder turbo hybrid, driving through a 6-speed automatic.
Who does what
The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name.
A car while yours is in the shop
Add a rental to the same request as the repair. Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
Between shop visits
If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive.
Questions to ask the shop
If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you.
One more step
Need the work and a rental? One request covers both.
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.
