Towing: how we help
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work. For a tow on the 1987 Dodge Shadow, we connect you with a trusted shop. If the car is blocking traffic, stay safe first and call for help.
Before the shop sees your Shadow
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 shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. The 2.2L 4-cylinder does the work, through a 5-speed manual.
What to send us
You agree everything with the shop before work begins. You approve the shop's quote before any work. We keep you posted until the car is booked in.
A car meanwhile
Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Car care, briefly
Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for.
Before the shop starts
Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree.
Next step
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.
