Towing: how we help
For a tow on the 1981 Ford F-150, a trusted shop does the work and CarmaCars arranges it, with a rental if you need one. If the car is blocking traffic, stay safe first and call for help.
Details the shop needs
Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. If you have the service history of your F-150, have it ready for the shop. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car.
The steps
Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. You agree everything with the shop before work begins. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts.
A rental while you wait
We collect the rental when your car is back. Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.
Car care, briefly
Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires. Check that all lights work every few weeks.
What to ask
Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there.
Let us know
Tell us what is wrong with the car, and we arrange the rest with a trusted shop.
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.
