Arranging the work for the Impala
Your 1982 Chevrolet Impala needs an emissions test? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. Emissions tests are required in some provinces and states; a licensed shop does the test.
About your Impala
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. If you have the service history of your Impala, have it ready for the shop.
The steps
Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. 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. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
Rent by the day while the shop has your car. A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. Delivery starts at $75 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
Before the shop starts
Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back.
Good habits for your car
Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive.
Ready to ask?
Ask us, and we tell you whether we can arrange it.
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.
