Arranging the work for the 5000
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work. For a safety certificate on the 1981 Audi 5000, we connect you with a trusted shop. A used car you buy in Ontario needs a Safety Standards Certificate before it can be plated.
Your 5000 and the shop
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. If you have the service history of your 5000, have it ready for the shop.
The steps
The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. Rent by the day while the shop has your car. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
Getting a clear quote
Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. Ask for a written estimate before any work starts.
Between shop visits
Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months.
