The 2012 Ford F-150: Towing
Towing for your 2012 Ford F-150: arranged with a trusted shop, never done by CarmaCars, with a rental if you need one. Once you are safe, send a request with where the car is and where it should go.
Details the shop needs
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. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Its 3.7L 6-cylinder drives through a 6-speed automatic.
What we arrange
You approve the shop's quote before any work. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there.
A car meanwhile
We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept.
Between shop visits
Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Look at the tire tread before long trips.
Over to you
A short request starts it: the car, the problem, and when suits you.
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.
