Towing for the 1985 Dodge Lancer
Towing for the 1985 Dodge Lancer: the work is done by a shop we trust, never by CarmaCars. If the car is blocking traffic, stay safe first and call for help.
About your Lancer
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. If you have the service history of your Lancer, have it ready for the shop. Under the hood: the 2.2L 4-cylinder and front-wheel drive.
How the request works
We keep you posted until the car is booked in. You agree everything with the shop before work begins. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job.
Stay on the road
We collect the rental when your car is back. A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
Small things that help
Look at the tire tread before long trips. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell.
Getting a clear quote
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. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon.
Your move
Tell us what is wrong with the car, and we arrange the rest with 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.
