Emissions test: how we help
Your 1997 Jeep Cherokee 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.
About your Cherokee
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. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Its 2.5L 4-cylinder drives through a 5-speed manual.
From request to repair
You approve the shop's quote before any work. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. Add a rental to the same request as the repair. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
Small things that help
Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old.
Talking to the shop
If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. Ask for a written estimate before any work starts.
One more step
Describe the problem, and we arrange 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.
