A rental while yours is in the shop
CarmaCars does not do this work; you keep driving while the shop has your car. We deliver a rental to you, by the day, at our usual rates.

Arranging the work for the Escort
For an emissions test on your Ford Escort, we arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. Rules on emissions testing differ by province and state.
Your Escort and the shop
Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Escort. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them.
Who does what
You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. Rent by the day while the shop has your car. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
Car care, briefly
Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due. Check that all lights work every few weeks. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive.
A short checklist
Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there.
Send a request
A request is free and gets a reply within one business day.
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.
