Emissions test for the 1988 Dodge Caravan

For an emissions test on the 1988 Dodge Caravan, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and rents you a car while yours is in. Emissions tests are required in some provinces and states; a licensed shop does the test.

Before the shop sees your Caravan

A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request.

What CarmaCars does here

We keep you posted until the car is booked in. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. 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 rental while you wait

Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.

Small things that help

Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can.

What to ask

Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon.

Next step

Send the car's details and the job, and we take the next step.
