Towing: how we help
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work, but for a tow on the 1981 Dodge Aries we arrange a trusted shop. Tell us where the car is, where it should go, and whether the keys are with it.
Before the shop sees your Aries
Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them.
From request to repair
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 agree everything with the shop before work begins. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job.
Keep moving meanwhile
A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. Add a rental to the same request as the repair. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
Small things that help
Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring.
Talking to the shop
Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept.
Get an offer
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.
