Emissions test: how we help
For an emissions test on your 1996 Audi Cabriolet, we arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. Emissions tests are required in some provinces and states; a licensed shop does the test.
Before the shop sees your Cabriolet
Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Cabriolet. Power: the 2.8L 6-cylinder; drive: front-wheel drive.
The steps
You agree everything with the shop before work begins. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. 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.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
Small things that help
Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter.
Talking to the shop
Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected.
Make a request
Ask us, and we tell you whether we can arrange it.
