Safety certificate: how we help
Safety certificate for your 1997 Cadillac DeVille: arranged with a trusted shop, never done by CarmaCars, with a rental if you need one. Only a licensed inspection station can issue a Safety Standards Certificate in Ontario.
Your DeVille and the shop
Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the DeVille. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. The 4.6L 8-cylinder does the work, through a 4-speed automatic.
What we arrange
The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. We keep you posted until the car is booked in. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job.
Keep moving meanwhile
Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
A short checklist
Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used.
Small things that help
Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive.
Get an offer
A request is free and gets a reply within one business day.
