Safety certificate: how we help

Safety certificate for your 2012 Dodge Caliber: 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.

Details the shop needs

A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The powertrain here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual.

How the request works

We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us.

No car? Rent one meanwhile

If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.

A short checklist

Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there.

Car care, briefly

If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule.
