Arranging the work for the Caravan
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work, but for an emissions test on the 1984 Dodge Caravan we arrange a trusted shop. Rules on emissions testing differ by province and state.
Before the shop sees your Caravan
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts.
Our part and the shop's part
You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. We keep you posted until the car is booked in.
A rental while you wait
Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. Add a rental to the same request as the repair. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
Between shop visits
Check that all lights work every few weeks. Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule. Look at the tire tread before long trips.
What to ask
Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used.
Over to you
Ask in your request, and we tell you plainly what we can arrange.
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.
