Arranging the work for the Colt
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work, but for a tow on the 1987 Dodge Colt we arrange a trusted shop. Once you are safe, send a request with where the car is and where it should go.
Before the shop sees your Colt
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. It is powered by the 1.5L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive.
How the request works
You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name.
Keep moving meanwhile
Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
Before the shop starts
Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies.
Car care, briefly
Check that all lights work every few weeks. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance.
Ready when you are
Ask, and we tell you plainly what we can arrange.
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.
