Emissions test: how we help
Emissions test for the 1982 Mercury Lynx: the work is done by a shop we trust, never by CarmaCars. Emissions tests are required in some provinces and states; a licensed shop does the test.
About your Lynx
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. If you have the service history of your Lynx, have it ready for the shop.
The steps
We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us.
A car while yours is in the shop
Rent by the day while the shop has your car. We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.
Car care, briefly
Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair. Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance.
A short checklist
If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour.
