Towing: how we help
For a tow on your 2014 Ford Explorer, we arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. Tell us where the car is, where it should go, and whether the keys are with it.
Before the shop sees your Explorer
Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Explorer. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. If you have the service history of your Explorer, have it ready for the shop. The engine is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive and a 6-speed automatic.
Our part and the shop's part
We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name. You agree everything with the shop before work begins.
Stay on the road
A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.
Small things that help
Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for.
Talking to the shop
Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it.
Over to you
Need the work and a rental? One request covers both.
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.
