Emissions test: how we help
Your 1990 Nissan Maxima needs an emissions test? We arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. Emissions tests are required in some provinces and states; a licensed shop does the test.
Your car, your notes
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Maxima. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Power comes from the 3.0L 6-cylinder, driving through a 5-speed manual.
Our part and the shop's part
We keep you posted until the car is booked in. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. You agree everything with the shop before work begins.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
Add a rental to the same request as the repair. Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
Talking to the shop
If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice.
Good habits for your car
Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires. Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance.
Let us know
Send a request with the car and what it needs, and a person replies within one business day.
