The 1986 Chevrolet Nova: Emissions test
Your 1986 Chevrolet Nova 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 Nova
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Nova. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. Its 1.6L 4-cylinder drives through a 5-speed manual.
How the request works
Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts.
Stay on the road
Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.
What to ask
Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree.
Between shop visits
Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months.
