Towing: how we help
For a tow on the 1989 Dodge Shadow, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and rents you a car while yours is in. Once you are safe, send a request with where the car is and where it should go.
Your Shadow and the shop
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. 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.
What to send us
You agree everything with the shop before work begins. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven.
A rental while you wait
We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
Between shop visits
Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can.
Talking to the shop
Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour.
Send a request
One request: the job, the car, and whether you need a rental meanwhile.
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.
