Towing in Northgate, Patrick

Getting it done

Towing in Northgate: CarmaCars does not do this work itself and works only in the Toronto area. Plainly: A tow to a shop or to your home, by a towing company we arrange, not by CarmaCars. If you are in danger or blocking traffic, call 911 first. Tell us where the car is, where it should go, and whether the keys are with it.

Who does what

We tell you plainly when we do not know a shop for the job. Tell us what you notice: the noise, the light on the dash, or the job you want done. Send a request with the car and what it needs. A person replies and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one. You deal with the shop for the repair itself, and with us for the rental.

Good habits for your car

Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter.

Talking to the shop

Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice. If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate.

Honest about distance
