Arranging the work for the i8
Mechanic for the BMW i8: the work is done by a shop we trust, never by CarmaCars. Routine maintenance and repairs are done by a mechanic at a shop we trust, not by CarmaCars.
Your car, your notes
If you have the service history of your i8, have it ready for the shop. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car.
What we arrange
The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. You approve the shop's quote before any work.
A car meanwhile
We collect the rental when your car is back. We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
A short checklist
Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree.
Good habits for your car
Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Look at the tire tread before long trips. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter.
Your move
A request is free and gets a reply within one business day.
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.
