The 1987 Buick Skyhawk: Towing
Your 1987 Buick Skyhawk needs a tow? We arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. Once you are safe, send a request with where the car is and where it should go.
Before the shop sees your Skyhawk
Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Skyhawk. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Its powertrain is the 2.0L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive.
Our part and the shop's part
Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. 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
We collect the rental when your car is back. Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
Between shop visits
Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree.
