Arranging the work for the Legacy
For an emissions test on the 2005 Subaru Legacy, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and rents you a car while yours is in. Emissions tests are required in some provinces and states; a licensed shop does the test.
Before the shop sees your Legacy
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. 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.
How we help
We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. You agree everything with the shop before work begins. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work.
Keep moving meanwhile
Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected. If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used.
Good habits for your car
Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires.
Questions first?
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.
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.
