The 1982 Audi 5000: Mechanic
Your 1982 Audi 5000 needs mechanical repairs or maintenance? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. Regular maintenance keeps small problems from turning into large ones.
Your car, your notes
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.
How the request works
Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in.
Keep moving meanwhile
If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there.
Car care, briefly
Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring.
Talk to a person
Start with a short request; a person replies within one business day.
