Arranging the work for the A8
For a tow on your 2018 Audi A8, we arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. Once you are safe, send a request with where the car is and where it should go.
About your A8
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the A8. Its 3.0L 6-cylinder supercharged drives through an 8-speed automatic.
How the request works
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. You agree everything with the shop before work begins. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
We collect the rental when your car is back. A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
Questions to ask the shop
If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for.
Good habits for your car
Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair. Look at the tire tread before long trips.
Your move
Describe the problem, and we arrange a trusted shop.
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.
