Arranging the work for the A3
For a safety certificate on the 2017 Audi A3, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and never does the work itself. Only a licensed inspection station can issue a Safety Standards Certificate in Ontario.
Details the shop needs
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the A3. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. The engine is the 1.4L 4-cylinder turbo hybrid, with front-wheel drive and a 6-speed automatic.
How the request works
You approve the shop's quote before any work. Send a request with the car and what it needs; a person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in.
A rental while you wait
A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
Good habits for your car
Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months. Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt.
Before the shop starts
Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. Ask for a written estimate before any work starts.
Make a request
A short request starts it: the car, the problem, and when suits you.
