Towing: how we help
Need a tow for the 2005 BMW X5? We arrange it with a trusted shop; the work is never done by CarmaCars. Tell us where the car is, where it should go, and whether the keys are with it.
About your X5
Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 3.0L 6-cylinder. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. The engine is the 3.0L 6-cylinder, with all-wheel drive and a 5-speed automatic.
How the request works
We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. You approve the shop's quote before any work. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop.
A rental while you wait
If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Good habits for your car
Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell.
What to ask
Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice. If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back.
Send a request
Tell us what is wrong with the car, and we arrange the rest with a trusted shop.
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.
