The 1986 GMC Pickup: Safety certificate
Your 1986 GMC Pickup needs a safety certificate? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. Only a licensed inspection station can issue a Safety Standards Certificate in Ontario.
About your Pickup
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. The engine is the 2.5L 4-cylinder, with all-wheel drive and a 4-speed manual.
The steps
Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in.
A car meanwhile
Rent by the day while the shop has your car. Add a rental to the same request as the repair. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.
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. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies.
Small things that help
Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Check that all lights work every few weeks. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for.
Still deciding?
Send the car's details and the job, and we take the next step.
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.
