Towing: how we help
The 1982 Ford LTD and a tow: CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop, and never does the work itself. Once you are safe, send a request with where the car is and where it should go.
Your car, your notes
Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop.
The steps
You agree everything with the shop before work begins. We keep you posted until the car is booked in. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name.
Keep moving meanwhile
Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
Small things that help
Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours.
Questions first?
Ask in your request, and we tell you plainly what we can arrange.
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.
