Arranging the work for the 5000
Your 1985 Audi 5000 needs a winter tire change? We arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. Tread depth matters for grip in rain and snow; the shop measures it.
Your car, your notes
Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the 5000. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. It is powered by the 2.2L 5-cylinder, with front-wheel drive.
What to send us
You approve the shop's quote before any work. 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 the price with the shop before any work starts.
Your rental while you wait
A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.
Small things that help
Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them.
What to ask
Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour.
When you know your dates
One request: the job, the car, and whether you need a rental meanwhile.
Request winter tires
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.
