Emissions test: how we help
For an emissions test on the 2016 Kia Sorento, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and rents you a car while yours is in. Rules on emissions testing differ by province and state.
Your car, your notes
Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Sorento. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 2.4L 4-cylinder. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. The powertrain to know here is the 2.4L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive.
How the arrangement works
The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in.
A rental while you wait
Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. We collect the rental when your car is back. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
Between shop visits
Check that all lights work every few weeks. Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months. Look at the tire tread before long trips.
Getting a clear quote
Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you.
Ready when you are
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.
