Arranging the work for the i3
Your 2019 BMW i3 needs a tow? We arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. Once you are safe, send a request with where the car is and where it should go.
Details the shop needs
If you have the service history of your i3, have it ready for the shop. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. The powertrain here is the 0.6L 2-cylinder hybrid with rear-wheel drive and a 1-speed automatic.
How the request works
Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work.
A rental while you wait
Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.
Small things that help
Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires.
What to ask
Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare.
Questions first?
Send a request with the car and what it needs, and 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.
