The 1999 Saab 9-3: Emissions test
The 1999 Saab 9-3 and an emissions test: CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop, and never does the work itself. Emissions tests are required in some provinces and states; a licensed shop does the test.
About your 9-3
Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at.
Our part and the shop's part
Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. You approve the shop's quote before any work.
A rental while you wait
The rental is priced like any other on our site. Rent by the day while the shop has your car. Delivery starts at $75 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
Before the shop starts
Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies.
Between shop visits
Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires.
Send a request
Send a request with the car and what it needs, and a person replies within one business day.
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.
