Emissions test for the 1985 Jaguar XJS
For an emissions test on the 1985 Jaguar XJS, a trusted shop does the work and CarmaCars arranges it, with a rental if you need one. Emissions tests are required in some provinces and states; a licensed shop does the test.
About your XJS
Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. The 5.3L 12-cylinder, paired with a 3-speed automatic, drives it.
Our part and the shop's part
We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name.
Stay on the road
If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice.
Good habits for your car
Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold.
Want a price?
Describe the problem, and we arrange a trusted shop.
