Emissions test: how we help
The 2009 Mazda RX-8 and an emissions test: CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop, and never does the work itself. Rules on emissions testing differ by province and state.
Your RX-8 and the shop
Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 1.3L 2-cylinder. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. The 1.3L 2-cylinder, paired with a 6-speed automatic, drives it.
How the request works
Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. Send a request with the car and what it needs; a person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one.
A car meanwhile
A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. We hand every car over in person, at your address or at our location.
Between shop visits
Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair.
A short checklist
Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree.
One more step
Need the work and a rental? One request covers both.
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.
