A rental while yours is in the shop
CarmaCars does not do this work; you keep driving while the shop has your car. We deliver a rental to you, by the day, at our usual rates.

Arranging the work for the Escort
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work. For a tow on the Ford Escort, we connect you with a trusted shop. If the car is blocking traffic, stay safe first and call for help.
Your car, your notes
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them.
Who does what
Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. You agree everything with the shop before work begins.
A car while yours is in the shop
The rental is priced like any other on our site. Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
Small things that help
Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there.
Ready when you are
Send the car's details and the job, and we take the next step.
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.
Rent a car while yours is in in Toronto
We have no car while yours is in on the site right now. Request one and we look for it for your dates, or take a similar car that is available now.
