Arranging the work for the A8
Need a winter tire change for your 2003 Audi A8? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it with a trusted shop and keep you driving meanwhile. Storing your off-season tires is often something the shop can arrange.
Your car, your notes
Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. All-wheel drive cars are fussy about matching tires; replace them as a set when the shop advises it. The 4.2L 8-cylinder does the work, through a 5-speed automatic.
How we help
Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
We collect the rental when your car is back. Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
Small things that help
Look at the tire tread before long trips. Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter.
Getting a clear quote
Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it.
Still deciding?
Ask us, and we tell you whether we can arrange it.
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.
