Arranging the work for the STS
The 2005 Cadillac STS and an emissions test: CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop, and never does the work itself. Rules on emissions testing differ by province and state.
Your STS and the shop
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. If you have the service history of your STS, have it ready for the shop. The 3.6L 6-cylinder is what moves it, with rear-wheel drive.
How the arrangement works
We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. 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.
A car meanwhile
Add a rental to the same request as the repair. We collect the rental when your car is back. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
Car care, briefly
Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can. Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. Ask for a written estimate before any work starts. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree.
Questions first?
Tell us what is wrong with the car, and we arrange the rest with a trusted shop.
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.
