A rental while yours is in the shop
CarmaCars does not do this work; you keep driving while the shop has your car. We deliver a rental to you, by the day, at our usual rates.

Arranging the work for the 8 Series
Need an emissions test for your BMW 8 Series? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it with a trusted shop and keep you driving meanwhile. Emissions tests are required in some provinces and states; a licensed shop does the test.
Your 8 Series and the shop
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. If you have the service history of your 8 Series, have it ready for the shop.
The steps
The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. We keep you posted until the car is booked in.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. Delivery starts at $75 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
Between shop visits
Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule. Look at the tire tread before long trips. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them.
A short checklist
Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice. Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected.
Make a request
Tell us the job and the car, and a person replies.
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.
