The 2012 Audi R8: Towing
Your 2012 Audi R8 needs a tow? We arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. If the car is blocking traffic, stay safe first and call for help.
Your R8 and the shop
Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Its powertrain is the 4.2L 8-cylinder with all-wheel drive.
How the arrangement works
Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. 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. We keep you posted until the car is booked in.
Driving while yours is at the shop
Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. Rent by the day while the shop has your car. Delivery starts at $0 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
Talking to the shop
Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate. Ask for a written estimate before any work starts. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare.
Good habits for your car
Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair. Check that all lights work every few weeks. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter.
Ready to ask?
Send a request with the car and what it needs, and a person replies within one business day.
