A rental while yours is in the shop
CarmaCars does not do this work; you keep driving while the shop has your car. We deliver a rental to you, by the day, at our usual rates.

Arranging the work for the i3
Safety certificate for your BMW i3: arranged with a trusted shop, never done by CarmaCars, with a rental if you need one. A used car you buy in Ontario needs a Safety Standards Certificate before it can be plated.
Your car, your notes
Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed.
What CarmaCars does here
Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. We keep you posted until the car is booked in.
A rental while you wait
A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. We collect the rental when your car is back. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.
Good habits for your car
Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Look at the tire tread before long trips. Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months.
Before the shop starts
If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected. If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back.
Let us know
Send a request with the car and what it needs, and a person replies within one business day.
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.
