The 1988 Dodge Lancer: Towing
Need a tow for your 1988 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.
Before the shop sees your Lancer
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The powertrain here is the 2.2L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual.
Our part and the shop's part
We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven.
Keep moving meanwhile
We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. Add a rental to the same request as the repair. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.
Talking to the shop
Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare.
Car care, briefly
Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive.
When you know your dates
Send a request: the car, the problem and when suits you.
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.
