Arranging the work for the 900
Need an emissions test for the 1985 Saab 900? We arrange it with a trusted shop; the work is never done by CarmaCars. Rules on emissions testing differ by province and state.
Details the shop needs
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 2.0L 4-cylinder. It is powered by the 2.0L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive.
How the request works
Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us.
A car meanwhile
Add a rental to the same request as the repair. We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
Talking to the shop
Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used.
Car care, briefly
Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Look at the tire tread before long trips. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter.
Ask us
Need a rental too? Add it to the same request.
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.
