Arranging the work for the i8
Need engine work for the 2020 BMW i8? We arrange it with a trusted shop; the work is never done by CarmaCars. Engine work ranges from a leak to a rebuild; the shop inspects the car and quotes it.
Before the shop sees your i8
Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. If you have the service history of your i8, have it ready for the shop. The 1.5L 3-cylinder turbo hybrid with all-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at.
What CarmaCars does here
Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date.
Keep moving meanwhile
A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. Add a rental to the same request as the repair. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
Before the shop starts
Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate.
Between shop visits
Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due. Check that all lights work every few weeks.
