Safety certificate: how we help
For a safety certificate on the 1998 Lexus LS, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and rents you a car while yours is in. A used car you buy in Ontario needs a Safety Standards Certificate before it can be plated.
Details the shop needs
Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. The 4.0L 8-cylinder does the work, through a 5-speed automatic.
Who does what
You agree everything with the shop before work begins. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us.
Stay on the road
A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
Before the shop starts
Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate.
Between shop visits
Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold.
Ready when you are
Send a request: 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.
