Arranging the work for the X3
Need an emissions test for the 2012 BMW X3? We arrange it with a trusted shop; the work is never done by CarmaCars. Emissions tests are required in some provinces and states; a licensed shop does the test.
Details the shop needs
If you have the service history of your X3, have it ready for the shop. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the X3. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Under the hood: the 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo and all-wheel drive.
How the request works
The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job.
Stay on the road
We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
A short checklist
Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there.
Car care, briefly
Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair.
Get an offer
Start with a short request; a person replies within one business day.
Request emissions test
