Emissions test: how we help

CarmaCars does not do mechanical work, but for an emissions test on the 2008 Subaru Impreza we arrange a trusted shop. Rules on emissions testing differ by province and state.

Details the shop needs

A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car.

From request to repair

We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. We keep you posted until the car is booked in.

A car while yours is in the shop

Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.

Good habits for your car

Check that all lights work every few weeks. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold.

What to ask

Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. Ask for a written estimate before any work starts. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there.

Let us know

Send the car's details and the job, and we take the next step.

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.

Rent a car while yours is in in Toronto

We have no car while yours is in on the site right now. Request one and we look for it for your dates, or take a similar car that is available now.
