Arranging the work for the DL
Need an emissions test for your 1981 Subaru DL? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it with a trusted shop and keep you driving meanwhile. Rules on emissions testing differ by province and state.
Your car, your notes
Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare.
Our part and the shop's part
We keep you posted until the car is booked in. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. Add a rental to the same request as the repair. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
Small things that help
Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter.
Before the shop starts
Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for.
Questions first?
A short request starts it: 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.
