Arranging the work for the Prius
For an emissions test on the 2012 Toyota Prius, CarmaCars arranges it with a trusted shop or connects you with one; the work is done by the shop, not by CarmaCars. Rules on emissions testing differ by province and state.
Details the shop needs
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. The engine is the 1.8L 4-cylinder hybrid, with front-wheel drive and an automatic (CVT).
How we help
We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. You agree everything with the shop before work begins.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. Delivery starts at $75 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
Small things that help
Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring.
Talking to the shop
If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used.
Ask us
Start with a short request; a person replies within one business day.
Request emissions test
