Arranging the work for the A8
Need a tow for your 2017 Audi A8? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it with a trusted shop and keep you driving meanwhile. Once you are safe, send a request with where the car is and where it should go.
Details the shop needs
Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 3.0L 6-cylinder supercharged. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The 3.0L 6-cylinder supercharged is what moves it, with all-wheel drive.
From request to repair
Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. We keep you posted until the car is booked in.
A car meanwhile
A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. We collect the rental when your car is back. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
Talking to 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. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare.
Car care, briefly
Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair. Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can.
Get an offer
Tell us the job and the car, and a person replies.
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.
