The 2002 Acura RL: Towing
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work, but for a tow on the 2002 Acura RL we arrange a trusted shop. Once you are safe, send a request with where the car is and where it should go.
Details the shop needs
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 3.5L 6-cylinder. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. It is powered by the 3.5L 6-cylinder, with front-wheel drive.
How the request works
We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. You agree everything with the shop before work begins. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in.
Driving while yours is at the shop
Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
Between shop visits
If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires. Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring.
Talking to the shop
Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for.
Talk to a person
Start with a short request; a person replies within one business day.
Request towing
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.
