Arranging the work for the Sidekick
Emissions test for the 1997 Suzuki Sidekick: the work is done by a shop we trust, never by CarmaCars. Emissions tests are required in some provinces and states; a licensed shop does the test.
Your car, your notes
Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Its 1.6L 4-cylinder drives through a 5-speed manual.
What CarmaCars does here
The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. 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.
Stay on the road
We collect the rental when your car is back. Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
Talking to the shop
Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you.
Small things that help
Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter.
