Arranging the work for the Colt
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work, but for a tow on the 1986 Dodge Colt we arrange a trusted shop. Tell us where the car is, where it should go, and whether the keys are with it.
About your Colt
Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Under the hood: the 1.5L 4-cylinder and front-wheel drive.
How the arrangement works
We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. We keep you posted until the car is booked in. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.
Car care, briefly
If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months.
Before the shop starts
Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up.
One more step
One request: the job, the car, and whether you need a rental meanwhile.
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.
