Arranging the work for the Premier
For an emissions test on your 1988 Eagle Premier, we arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. Rules on emissions testing differ by province and state.
About your Premier
Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. If you have the service history of your Premier, have it ready for the shop. The 2.5L 4-cylinder does the work, through a 5-speed manual.
What we arrange
We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name. You approve the shop's quote before any work. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car.
Keep moving meanwhile
Add a rental to the same request as the repair. Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.
Small things that help
Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter.
What to ask
Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected.
Talk to a person
Need a rental too? Add it to the same request.
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.
