Arranging the work for the Lemans

Your 1981 Pontiac Lemans needs an emissions test? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. 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. If you have the service history of your Lemans, have it ready for the shop. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them.

Our part and the shop's part

We keep you posted until the car is booked in. You agree everything with the shop before work begins. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in.

No car? Rent one meanwhile

We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.

A short checklist

Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. Ask for a written estimate before any work starts. Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history.

Car care, briefly

Look at the tire tread before long trips. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter.

Questions first?

A short request starts it: the car, the problem, and when suits you.

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.
