Arranging the work for the F-150
Need an emissions test for the 1981 Ford F-150? We arrange it with a trusted shop; the work is never done by CarmaCars. Rules on emissions testing differ by province and state.
Before the shop sees your F-150
Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. If you have the service history of your F-150, have it ready for the shop.
How we help
Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. You approve the shop's quote before any work.
Driving while yours is at the shop
Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. Rent by the day while the shop has your car. Delivery to your door is available across the Toronto area.
Good habits for your car
Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair. Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring.
What to ask
Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice.
Next step
Tell us the job and the car, and a person replies.
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.
