Towing: how we help
Towing for the 1984 Buick Electra: the work is done by a shop we trust, never by CarmaCars. Once you are safe, send a request with where the car is and where it should go.
Your Electra and the shop
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them.
Our part and the shop's part
The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. We keep you posted until the car is booked in. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name.
Your rental while you wait
A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
A short checklist
If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. Ask for a written estimate before any work starts.
Between shop visits
Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for.
When you know your dates
A request is free and gets a reply 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.
