Arranging the work for the 5 Series
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work, but for an emissions test on the BMW 5 Series we arrange a trusted shop. Rules on emissions testing differ by province and state.
Before the shop sees your 5 Series
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. If you have the service history of your 5 Series, have it ready for the shop. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop.
The steps
You approve the shop's quote before any work. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. Add a rental to the same request as the repair. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
Small things that help
Look at the tire tread before long trips. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter.
Before the shop starts
Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree.
Ready when you are
Send a request with the car and what it needs, and a person replies within one business day.
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
We have no car while yours is in on the site right now. Request one and we look for it for your dates, or take a similar car that is available now.
