Emissions test: how we help
The 1996 Volvo WCA and an emissions test: CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop, and never does the work itself. Emissions tests are required in some provinces and states; a licensed shop does the test.
Before the shop sees your WCA
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. 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.
What to send us
We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. 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. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car.
A car while yours is in the shop
We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
Good habits for your car
Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule. Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow.
Talking to the shop
Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept.

One request: the job, the car, and whether you need a rental meanwhile.
