Towing: how we help
CarmaCars does not do this work itself. For a tow on the 1996 BMW M, we arrange it with a trusted shop or connect you with one. Tell us where the car is, where it should go, and whether the keys are with it.
Before the shop sees your M
Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to 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 3.2L 6-cylinder, paired with a 5-speed manual, drives it.
Who does what
The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. 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. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us.
Driving while yours is at the shop
Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
What to ask
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 the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree.
Good habits for your car
Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months. 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.
Ask us
Ask in your request, and we tell you plainly what we can arrange.
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.
