The 2012 BMW 6 Series: Emissions test
Your 2012 BMW 6 Series needs an emissions test? We arrange it with a trusted shop, the work is done by the shop and not by CarmaCars, and we rent you a car meanwhile. Rules on emissions testing differ by province and state.
Your car, your notes
Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. The 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo does the work, through an 8-speed automatic.
How the arrangement works
We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name. 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. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. Add a rental to the same request as the repair. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
Between shop visits
Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Look at the tire tread before long trips.
Talking to the shop
Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back.
Your move
A request is free and gets a reply 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.
