Arranging the work for the Explorer
CarmaCars does not do this work itself. For a tow on the 2005 Ford Explorer, we arrange it with a trusted shop or connect you with one. If the car is blocking traffic, stay safe first and call for help.
Before the shop sees your Explorer
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 4.0L 6-cylinder. It is powered by the 4.0L 6-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive.
How we help
You agree everything with the shop before work begins. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts.
Your rental while you wait
Rent by the day while the shop has your car. We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. Delivery starts at $0 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
A short checklist
If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for.
Between shop visits
If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring.
Talk to a person
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.
