Towing: how we help
Your 2004 Audi A6 needs a tow? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. Tell us where the car is, where it should go, and whether the keys are with it.
Your A6 and the shop
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. Power comes from the 3.0L 6-cylinder, driving through an automatic (CVT).
How the arrangement works
The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. 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. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts.
A car meanwhile
Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
Between shop visits
If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance.
What to ask
Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used.
Ask us
Tell us what is wrong with the car, and we arrange the rest with a trusted shop.
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.
