Towing for the 1986 Dodge Lancer
Need a tow for your 1986 Dodge Lancer? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it with a trusted shop and keep you driving meanwhile. Once you are safe, send a request with where the car is and where it should go.
Your Lancer and the shop
Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Power comes from the 2.2L 4-cylinder, driving through a 5-speed manual.
How the arrangement works
Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date.
A rental while you wait
Rent by the day while the shop has your car. Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
Before the shop starts
Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept.
Small things that help
Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule.
One more step
Ask us, and we tell you whether we can arrange it.
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.
