Arranging the work for the 9-3
Need an emissions test for the 2011 Saab 9-3? We arrange it with a trusted shop; the work is never done by CarmaCars. Emissions tests are required in some provinces and states; a licensed shop does the test.
Your 9-3 and the shop
Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. If you have the service history of your 9-3, have it ready for the shop. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo does the work, through a 6-speed manual.
How we help
You approve the shop's quote before any work. Send a request with the car and what it needs; a person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven.
A car while yours is in the shop
We collect the rental when your car is back. Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.
Car care, briefly
Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them.
Getting a clear quote
If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate. Ask for a written estimate before any work starts.
