Safety certificate: how we help
Your 2016 Lexus RX needs a safety certificate? We arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. Only a licensed inspection station can issue a Safety Standards Certificate in Ontario.
About your RX
Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 3.5L 6-cylinder hybrid. It is powered by the 3.5L 6-cylinder hybrid, with front-wheel drive.
What to send us
We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. Send a request with the car and what it needs; a person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job.
Keep moving meanwhile
A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. Rent by the day while the shop has your car. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
Between shop visits
Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow.
Before the shop starts
If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice. Ask for a written estimate before any work starts.
Your move
One request: the job, the car, and whether you need a rental meanwhile.
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.
