Towing: how we help
CarmaCars does not do this work itself. For a tow on the 1988 Audi 5000, we arrange it with a trusted shop or connect you with one. If the car is blocking traffic, stay safe first and call for help.
About your 5000
If you have the service history of your 5000, have it ready for the shop. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the 5000. Its powertrain is the 2.2L 5-cylinder turbo with front-wheel drive.
How the request works
Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in.
Driving while yours is at the shop
Rent by the day while the shop has your car. The rental is priced like any other on our site. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
Between shop visits
If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there. If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back.
Questions first?
Start with the car, the job and your location.
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.
