Arranging the work for the C6
The 1985 GMC C6 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.
Your car, your notes
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare.
Who does what
We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us.
Stay on the road
If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. The rental is priced like any other on our site. Delivery starts at $0 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
What to ask
Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour.
Small things that help
If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring.
Questions first?
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.
