Mechanic: how we help
The 2014 Audi A8 and mechanical repairs or maintenance: 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
Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. The 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo, paired with an 8-speed automatic, drives it.
What CarmaCars does here
We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. You agree everything with the shop before work begins. We keep you posted until the car is booked in.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. Delivery to your door is available across the Toronto area.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour.
Good habits for your car
Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old.
Get an offer
Ask, and we tell you plainly what we can arrange.
Request mechanic
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.
