Emissions test: how we help
Your 1990 Buick Riviera needs an emissions test? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. Rules on emissions testing differ by province and state.
About your Riviera
Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 3.8L 6-cylinder. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Its powertrain is the 3.8L 6-cylinder with front-wheel drive.
What CarmaCars does here
We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work.
A car while yours is in the shop
We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. We collect the rental when your car is back. Delivery to your door is available across the Toronto area.
What to ask
Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon.
Small things that help
Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter.
Talk to a person
A short request starts it: the car, the problem, and when suits you.
