The 2012 Audi S5: Towing
Your 2012 Audi S5 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 car, your notes
Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Power: the 3.0L 6-cylinder supercharged; drive: all-wheel drive.
What CarmaCars does here
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 do not set the shop's price or promise a date.
Your rental while you wait
Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. Delivery to your door is available across the Toronto area.
Car care, briefly
Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Check that all lights work every few weeks.
A short checklist
Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour.
Make a request
Send a request with the car and what it needs, and 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.
