Towing: how we help
Need a tow for your 2003 Ford Escort? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it with a trusted shop and keep you driving meanwhile. Tell us where the car is, where it should go, and whether the keys are with it.
Your Escort and the shop
Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. The engine is the 2.0L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive and a 4-speed automatic.
Who does what
The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with 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.
Stay on the road
Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. The rental is priced like any other on our site. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Small things that help
Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. Look at the tire tread before long trips.
Getting a clear quote
If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used.
Ready when you are
Start with the car, the job and your location.
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.
