Towing: how we help
Your 2000 Ford F-550 needs a tow? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. Tell us where the car is, where it should go, and whether the keys are with it.
Your F-550 and the shop
Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the F-550. If you have the service history of your F-550, have it ready for the shop.
How the request works
We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. You approve the shop's quote before any work.
Keep moving meanwhile
The rental is priced like any other on our site. A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
Small things that help
Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. Check that all lights work every few weeks.
What to ask
Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history.
Ready to ask?
A request is free and gets a reply within one business day.
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.
