Towing: how we help
For a tow on the 1981 Ford F-600, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and never does the work itself. Tell us where the car is, where it should go, and whether the keys are with it.
Your F-600 and the shop
If you have the service history of your F-600, have it ready for the shop. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car.
What we arrange
The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. We keep you posted until the car is booked in. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work.
A rental while you wait
If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
Before the shop starts
If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare.
Car care, briefly
Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Check that all lights work every few weeks. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due.
Over to you
Start with a short request; a person replies 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.
