Towing for the 2012 Dodge Journey
The 2012 Dodge Journey and a tow: CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop, and never does the work itself. Once you are safe, send a request with where the car is and where it should go.
About your Journey
Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. If you have the service history of your Journey, have it ready for the shop. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. It runs the 2.4L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive.
Our part and the shop's part
The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. You agree everything with the shop before work begins. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.
Getting a clear quote
Ask for a written estimate before any work starts. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up.
Car care, briefly
Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due.
Make a request
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.
