Emissions test for the 1997 Ford Expedition
For an emissions test on the 1997 Ford Expedition, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and rents you a car while yours is in. Rules on emissions testing differ by province and state.
Details the shop needs
Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 4.6L 8-cylinder. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Its 4.6L 8-cylinder drives through a 4-speed automatic.
What CarmaCars does here
The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
Good habits for your car
Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due.
Questions to ask the shop
Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. Ask for a written estimate before any work starts.
Over to you
Need a rental too? Add it to the same request.
