Arranging the work for the A8
For a safety certificate on the 2011 Audi A8, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and rents you a car while yours is in. A used car you buy in Ontario needs a Safety Standards Certificate before it can be plated.
About your A8
Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. The powertrain to know here is the 4.2L 8-cylinder, with all-wheel drive.
Our part and the shop's part
You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. You approve the shop's quote before any work. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop.
A car while yours is in the shop
We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. Add a rental to the same request as the repair. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
Between shop visits
Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow. Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old.
Getting a clear quote
If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare.
When you know your dates
Send a request with the car and what it needs, and a person replies within one business day.
