Arranging the work for the Probe
Searching for towing for the 1996 Ford Probe? CarmaCars does not do this work itself; we arrange it with a trusted shop. If the car is blocking traffic, stay safe first and call for help.
Before the shop sees your Probe
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. It runs the 2.0L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive.
Our part and the shop's part
You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job.
Stay on the road
Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. The rental is priced like any other on our site. We hand every car over in person, at your address or at our location.
Between shop visits
Look at the tire tread before long trips. Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for.
Getting a clear quote
Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree.
Next step
One request: the job, the car, and whether you need a rental meanwhile.
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.
