Towing: how we help
For a tow on the 2018 BMW X1, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and never does the work itself. Tell us where the car is, where it should go, and whether the keys are with it.
Your X1 and the shop
Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Under the hood: the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo and front-wheel drive.
What CarmaCars does here
The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us.
A car meanwhile
We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.
Small things that help
Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. 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.
Ready when you are
Send a request: the car, the problem and when suits you.
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.
