The 2009 Scion tC: Emissions test
The 2009 Scion tC and an emissions test: CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop, and never does the work itself. Rules on emissions testing differ by province and state.
Before the shop sees your tC
Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the tC. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 2.4L 4-cylinder. The engine is the 2.4L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive and a 4-speed automatic.
What CarmaCars does here
We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven.
A rental while you wait
Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. Rent by the day while the shop has your car. Delivery to your door is available across the Toronto area.
What to ask
Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice.
Good habits for your car
Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires. Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt.
Send a request
One request: the job, the car, and whether you need a rental meanwhile.
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.
