Arranging the work for the S3
Mechanic for your 2016 Audi S3: arranged with a trusted shop, never done by CarmaCars, with a rental if you need one. Routine maintenance and repairs are done by a mechanic at a shop we trust, not by CarmaCars.
Your S3 and the shop
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the S3. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo is what moves it, with all-wheel drive.
What CarmaCars does here
You agree everything with the shop before work begins. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. We keep you posted until the car is booked in.
A rental while you wait
The rental is priced like any other on our site. Rent by the day while the shop has your car. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
What to ask
Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate.
Small things that help
Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can. Check that all lights work every few weeks.
Let us know
Start with the car, the job and your location.
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.
