Towing for the 2023 Ford Explorer
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work, but for a tow on the 2023 Ford Explorer we arrange a trusted shop. If the car is blocking traffic, stay safe first and call for help.
Before the shop sees your Explorer
Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 3.3L 6-cylinder hybrid. Its 3.3L 6-cylinder hybrid drives through a 10-speed automatic.
The steps
We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date.
Your rental while you wait
A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. Delivery starts at $75 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
Small things that help
Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive.
Talking to the shop
Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up.
When you know your dates
One request: the job, the car, and whether you need a rental meanwhile.
