Arranging the work for the Mirada
Emissions test for the 1981 Dodge Mirada: the work is done by a shop we trust, never by CarmaCars. Emissions tests are required in some provinces and states; a licensed shop does the test.
Details the shop needs
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car.
What CarmaCars does here
You agree everything with the shop before work begins. 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.
Driving while yours is at the shop
Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. Add a rental to the same request as the repair. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.
A short checklist
Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate.
Between shop visits
Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule.
One more step
Send a request: the car, the problem and when suits you.

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.
