Arranging the work for the CTS
For a tow on the 2012 Cadillac CTS, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and rents you a car while yours is in. If the car is blocking traffic, stay safe first and call for help.
Before the shop sees your CTS
If you have the service history of your CTS, have it ready for the shop. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Power: the 3.0L 6-cylinder; drive: rear-wheel drive.
Our part and the shop's part
The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in.
A rental while you wait
We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
Getting a clear quote
Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies.
Car care, briefly
Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter.
Send a request
Send a request: the car, the problem and when suits you.
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.
