Arranging the work for the Caravan
Need a safety certificate for your 2002 Dodge Caravan? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it with a trusted shop and keep you driving meanwhile. Only a licensed inspection station can issue a Safety Standards Certificate in Ontario.
Details the shop needs
Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Caravan. If you have the service history of your Caravan, have it ready for the shop. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare.
From request to repair
Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. You approve the shop's quote before any work.
A rental while you wait
If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. Rent by the day while the shop has your car. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
A short checklist
If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history.
Between shop visits
Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them.
Make a request
A short request starts it: the car, the problem, and when suits you.
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.
