Emissions test: how we help

Your BMW 3 Series needs an emissions test? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. Emissions tests are required in some provinces and states; a licensed shop does the test.

Your car, your notes

The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts.

What CarmaCars does here

We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. 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.

A car while yours is in the shop

Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.

Small things that help

Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old.

Before the shop starts

Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate.

Make a request

Start with the car, the job and your location.

Request emissions test

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.

Rent a car while yours is in in Toronto
