Arranging the work for the Caravan
For an emissions test on your 1993 Dodge Caravan, we arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. Rules on emissions testing differ by province and state.
Your Caravan and the shop
Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Caravan. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them.
Our part and the shop's part
The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. You agree everything with the shop before work begins.
Keep moving meanwhile
Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
Small things that help
Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for.
A short checklist
Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. Ask for a written estimate before any work starts.
One more step
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.
Rent a car while yours is in in Toronto
We have no car while yours is in on the site right now. Request one and we look for it for your dates, or take a similar car that is available now.
