The 1997 BMW Z3: Towing
Your 1997 BMW Z3 needs a tow? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. Tell us where the car is, where it should go, and whether the keys are with it.
Before the shop sees your Z3
Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Z3. If you have the service history of your Z3, have it ready for the shop. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. The 1.9L 4-cylinder, paired with a 5-speed manual, drives it.
How the request works
We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. You approve the shop's quote before any work.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
Car care, briefly
Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can.
Before the shop starts
Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate.
Ready when you are
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.
