Engine repair: how we help
For engine work on your 2017 BMW i8, we arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. An engine that runs rough, smokes or overheats needs a look soon.
Details the shop needs
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Power comes from the 1.5L 3-cylinder turbo hybrid, driving through a 6-speed automatic.
How the arrangement works
We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. We keep you posted until the car is booked in. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date.
Your rental while you wait
The rental is priced like any other on our site. Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. Delivery to your door is available across the Toronto area.
Good habits for your car
Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter.
Before the shop starts
Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree.
Your move
One request: the job, the car, and whether you need a rental meanwhile.
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.
