Towing: how we help
Searching for towing for the 1988 Dodge Shadow? CarmaCars does not do this work itself; we arrange it with a trusted shop. Once you are safe, send a request with where the car is and where it should go.
Before the shop sees your Shadow
Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Power comes from the 2.2L 4-cylinder, driving through a 5-speed manual.
From request to repair
We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. You agree everything with the shop before work begins.
Driving while yours is at the shop
Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. Rent by the day while the shop has your car. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
Between shop visits
Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due.
Getting a clear quote
Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate. If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it.
When you know your dates
Send a request with the car and what it needs, and a person replies within one business day.
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.
