Safety certificate: how we help
Your 2000 BMW M needs a safety certificate? We arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. Only a licensed inspection station can issue a Safety Standards Certificate in Ontario.
About your M
Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the M. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Power: the 3.2L 6-cylinder; drive: rear-wheel drive.
What to send us
The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car.
Keep moving meanwhile
Add a rental to the same request as the repair. We collect the rental when your car is back. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Talking to the shop
Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you.
Small things that help
Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for.
When you know your dates
Tell us what is wrong with the car, and we arrange the rest with a trusted shop.
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.
