The 2012 BMW 5 Series: Emissions test
Your 2012 BMW 5 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.
Before the shop sees your 5 Series
Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. Power: the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo; drive: rear-wheel drive.
How the arrangement works
We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. 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. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date.
A car meanwhile
We collect the rental when your car is back. A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.
Car care, briefly
If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive.
Questions to ask the shop
If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies.
Over to you
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.
