Arranging the work for the Riviera
Need a tow for the 1990 Buick Riviera? We arrange it with a trusted shop; the work is never done by CarmaCars. If the car is blocking traffic, stay safe first and call for help.
Your Riviera and the shop
Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. The 3.8L 6-cylinder is what moves it, with front-wheel drive.
The steps
We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. We keep you posted until the car is booked in. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts.
Keep moving meanwhile
Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
Good habits for your car
Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring.
What to ask
Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice.
Let us know
Send the car's details and the job, and we take the next step.
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.
