The 2020 BMW i8: Towing
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work, but for a tow on the 2020 BMW i8 we arrange a trusted shop. If the car is blocking traffic, stay safe first and call for help.
Your car, your notes
Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 1.5L 3-cylinder turbo hybrid. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Its 1.5L 3-cylinder turbo hybrid drives through a 6-speed automatic.
The steps
The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts.
A rental while you wait
We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours.
Car care, briefly
Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter.
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.
