Arranging the work for the 500
The 2012 Fiat 500 and an emissions test: CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop, and never does the work itself. Emissions tests are required in some provinces and states; a licensed shop does the test.
Before the shop sees your 500
Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. The powertrain to know here is the 1.4L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive.
What CarmaCars does here
The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. We keep you posted until the car is booked in.
A car meanwhile
The rental is priced like any other on our site. Add a rental to the same request as the repair. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
Between shop visits
Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months.
Talking to the shop
Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon. If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back.
Ready to ask?
Tell us what is wrong with the car, and we arrange the rest with a trusted shop.
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.
