The 2012 Chevrolet Volt: Towing
For a tow on the 2012 Chevrolet Volt, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and rents you a car while yours is in. Once you are safe, send a request with where the car is and where it should go.
Your car, your notes
If you have the service history of your Volt, have it ready for the shop. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. The 1.4L 4-cylinder hybrid, paired with an automatic (CVT), drives it.
What to send us
You agree everything with the shop before work begins. 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. You approve the shop's quote before any work.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.
A short checklist
Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there. Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours.
Between shop visits
Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires.
