Safety certificate for the 2016 Tesla Model S
The 2016 Tesla Model S and a safety certificate: CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop, and never does the work itself. Only a licensed inspection station can issue a Safety Standards Certificate in Ontario.
Your car, your notes
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Power: the electric motor; drive: all-wheel drive.
What CarmaCars does here
We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. 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.
Your rental while you wait
Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. Rent by the day while the shop has your car. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
Good habits for your car
Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due.
A short checklist
Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you.
Ready when you are
Tell us what is wrong with the car, and we arrange the rest with a trusted shop.
