Arranging the work for the Zephyr
Your 1981 Mercury Zephyr needs an emissions test? We arrange it with a trusted shop, the work is done by the shop and not by CarmaCars, and we rent you a car meanwhile. Rules on emissions testing differ by province and state.
Your Zephyr and the shop
Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them.
The steps
You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. You approve the shop's quote before any work.
A rental while you wait
If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
Before the shop starts
Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Ask for a written estimate before any work starts. Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected.
Good habits for your car
Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule.
Questions first?
Send a request with the car and what it needs, and a person replies within one business day.
