The 1988 Saab 900: Emissions test
For an emissions test on the 1988 Saab 900, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and rents you a car while yours is in. Rules on emissions testing differ by province and state.
About your 900
If you have the service history of your 900, have it ready for the shop. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Under the hood: the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo and front-wheel drive.
What we arrange
We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. You agree everything with the shop before work begins. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name.
A car meanwhile
We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. Add a rental to the same request as the repair. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
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.
Before the shop starts
Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice. Ask for a written estimate before any work starts.
Next step
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.
