Arranging the work for the A7
Safety certificate for your 2012 Audi A7: arranged with a trusted shop, never done by CarmaCars, with a rental if you need one. A used car you buy in Ontario needs a Safety Standards Certificate before it can be plated.
Your car, your notes
Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. The 3.0L 6-cylinder supercharged with all-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at.
How the request works
We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car.
Keep moving meanwhile
We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
Good habits for your car
Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you.
Want a price?
Tell us what is wrong with the car, and we arrange the rest with a trusted shop.
Request safety certificate
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.
