Towing: how we help
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work, but for a tow on the 2016 Ford Escape we arrange a trusted shop. Tell us where the car is, where it should go, and whether the keys are with it.
Your car, your notes
Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 1.6L 4-cylinder turbo. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. The 1.6L 4-cylinder turbo is what moves it, with front-wheel drive.
How we help
We keep you posted until the car is booked in. Send a request with the car and what it needs; a person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one. You agree everything with the shop before work begins.
Driving while yours is at the shop
A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. We collect the rental when your car is back. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.
Small things that help
Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you.
Over to you
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.
