Emissions Test in Ames, NY

Getting it done

If you need an emissions test in Ames: CarmaCars does not do this work itself, and our network is around Toronto. The job: An emissions test or emissions repair where your province or state requires one, by a licensed shop we arrange, not by CarmaCars. Emissions tests are required in some provinces and states; a licensed shop does the test.

How we help

You deal with the shop for the repair itself, and with us for the rental. We arrange the shop and the rental, and you keep control of the repair. If you already have a shop you trust, we can still rent you a car meanwhile. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date; the shop does, after it sees the car.

Small things that help

Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due. Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold.

What to ask

If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. Ask for a written estimate before any work starts.
