Arranging the work for the Model Y
Your 2021 Tesla Model Y needs an emissions test? We arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. Rules on emissions testing differ by province and state.
Your car, your notes
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. If you have the service history of your Model Y, have it ready for the shop. Under the hood: the electric motor and rear-wheel drive.
From request to repair
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. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Small things that help
Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Check that all lights work every few weeks. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old.
Getting a clear quote
If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare.
Ask us
Send the car's details and the job, and we take the next step.
