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.

Emissions test for the Ford Tempo
Your Ford Tempo needs an emissions test? We arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. Emissions tests are required in some provinces and states; a licensed shop does the test.
Your car, your notes
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them.
What CarmaCars does here
The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date.
A rental while you wait
We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. Delivery starts at $75 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
Getting a clear quote
Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours.
Between shop visits
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.
Make 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.
