Safety certificate: how we help
Safety certificate for the 2012 Audi A8: the work is done by a shop we trust, never by CarmaCars. Only a licensed inspection station can issue a Safety Standards Certificate in Ontario.
About your A8
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. If you have the service history of your A8, have it ready for the shop. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the A8. The 4.2L 8-cylinder is what moves it, with all-wheel drive.
What to send us
We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. 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.
A rental while you wait
We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
A short checklist
Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice.
Good habits for your car
Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter.
Ask us
A request is free and gets a reply within one business day.
