Emissions test: how we help
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work. For an emissions test on the 2002 Saab 9-5, we connect you with a trusted shop. Rules on emissions testing differ by province and state.
Details the shop needs
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the 9-5. It uses the 2.3L 4-cylinder turbo and front-wheel drive.
From request to repair
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. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts.
A rental while you wait
We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Small things that help
Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow.
A short checklist
If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate.
Ask us
A request is free and gets a reply 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.
