The 2004 BMW X5: Towing
Your 2004 BMW X5 needs a tow? We arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. Tell us where the car is, where it should go, and whether the keys are with it.
Before the shop sees your X5
Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. It uses the 3.0L 6-cylinder and all-wheel drive.
How the request works
We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. You agree everything with the shop before work begins.
A rental while you wait
If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
Between shop visits
Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance.
Talking to the shop
Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies.
Next step
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.
