Towing: how we help
Need a tow for your 1981 Buick LeSabre? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it with a trusted shop and keep you driving meanwhile. Once you are safe, send a request with where the car is and where it should go.
Your car, your notes
Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare.
The steps
We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name. We keep you posted until the car is booked in. Send a request with the car and what it needs; a person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one.
Stay on the road
Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you.
Good habits for your car
Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring.
Make a request
Describe the problem, and we arrange 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.
