Arranging the work for the Mazda5
Your 2008 Mazda Mazda5 needs an emissions test? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. Rules on emissions testing differ by province and state.
Before the shop sees your Mazda5
If you have the service history of your Mazda5, have it ready for the shop. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them.
The steps
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 can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop.
Stay on the road
The rental is priced like any other on our site. Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
Small things that help
Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter.
Before the shop starts
Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree.
Make a request
Start with a short request; a person replies within one business day.
Request emissions test
