Arranging the work for the 5000
For a tow on the 1983 Audi 5000, a trusted shop does the work and CarmaCars arranges it, with a rental if you need one. If the car is blocking traffic, stay safe first and call for help.
Your car, your notes
Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car.
How we help
Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
Add a rental to the same request as the repair. Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. Delivery to your door is available across the Toronto area.
A short checklist
Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept.
Between shop visits
Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter.
Send a request
Start with a short request; a person replies within one business day.
Request towing
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.
