Arranging the work for the Legacy

Need an emissions test for the 1997 Subaru Legacy? We arrange it with a trusted shop; the work is never done by CarmaCars. Rules on emissions testing differ by province and state.

About your Legacy

Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare.

Our part and the shop's part

Send a request with the car and what it needs; a person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there.

Your rental while you wait

Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. Delivery to your door is available across the Toronto area.

What to ask

Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree.

Car care, briefly

Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair. Look at the tire tread before long trips.

When you know your dates

Ask in your request, and we tell you plainly what we can arrange.

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.
