Arranging the work for the FE

For an emissions test on the 1989 Volvo FE, 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.

Details the shop needs

Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the FE. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop.

Who does what

You approve the shop's quote before any work. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name.

A rental while you wait

Add a rental to the same request as the repair. Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.

What to ask

Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. Ask for a written estimate before any work starts. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour.

Small things that help

Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Check that all lights work every few weeks. Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can.

Next step

Start with the car, the job and your location.

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.
