Mechanic for the 2017 BMW i3
For mechanical repairs or maintenance on the 2017 BMW i3, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop; the work is done there, not by CarmaCars. Tell us what the car is doing, and we find a shop suited to the job.
About your i3
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. If you have the service history of your i3, have it ready for the shop. The 0.6L 2-cylinder hybrid, paired with a 1-speed automatic, drives it.
How the arrangement works
The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. Rent by the day while the shop has your car. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
Between shop visits
Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them.
Getting a clear quote
Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there.
Want a price?
Send the car's details and the job, and we take the next step.
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.
