Emissions test for the 1989 Saab 900
Your 1989 Saab 900 needs an emissions test? We arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. Emissions tests are required in some provinces and states; a licensed shop does the test.
Your 900 and the shop
Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo. If you have the service history of your 900, have it ready for the shop. The 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo does the work, through a 5-speed manual.
What to send us
You approve the shop's quote before any work. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job.
A rental while you wait
We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. Add a rental to the same request as the repair. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
Good habits for your car
If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires. Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold.
Before the shop starts
Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies.
Next step
Send a request: the car, the problem and when suits you.
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.
