Mechanic: how we help
For mechanical repairs or maintenance on the 1983 Audi 5000, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and never does the work itself. Routine maintenance and repairs are done by a mechanic at a shop we trust, not by CarmaCars.
Details the shop needs
If you have the service history of your 5000, have it ready for the shop. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts.
What we arrange
The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. Send a request with the car and what it needs; a person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car.
Keep moving meanwhile
Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. Rent by the day while the shop has your car. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.
Between shop visits
Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold.
Talking to the shop
If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. Ask for a written estimate before any work starts.
Over to you
Start with a short request; a person replies within one business day.
