Towing for the 2014 BMW i8
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work. For a tow on the 2014 BMW i8, we connect you with a trusted shop. Tell us where the car is, where it should go, and whether the keys are with it.
Before the shop sees your i8
If you have the service history of your i8, have it ready for the shop. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. It runs the 1.5L 3-cylinder turbo hybrid, with all-wheel drive.
From request to repair
The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. We keep you posted until the car is booked in. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name.
Your rental while you wait
We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.
Talking to the shop
Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there.
Small things that help
Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can. Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair. Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt.
Talk to a person
Tell us the job and the car, and a person replies.
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.
