Safety certificate: how we help
CarmaCars does not do this work itself. For a safety certificate on the 2012 Audi A3, we arrange it with a trusted shop or connect you with one. Only a licensed inspection station can issue a Safety Standards Certificate in Ontario.
Details the shop needs
Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. If you have the service history of your A3, have it ready for the shop. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the A3. It uses the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo and front-wheel drive.
What we arrange
We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work.
A car meanwhile
Rent by the day while the shop has your car. We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Before the shop starts
Ask for a written estimate before any work starts. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour.
Good habits for your car
Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive.
Let us know
Need the work and a rental? One request covers both.
Request safety certificate
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.
Rent a car while yours is in in Toronto
