Towing: how we help
Need a tow for your 1992 Ford Taurus? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it with a trusted shop and keep you driving meanwhile. If the car is blocking traffic, stay safe first and call for help.
Details the shop needs
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. If you have the service history of your Taurus, have it ready for the shop. Its powertrain is the 3.0L 6-cylinder with front-wheel drive.
Our part and the shop's part
We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job.
A rental while you wait
Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
Talking to the shop
Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history.
Between shop visits
Check that all lights work every few weeks. Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old.
One more step
Ask, 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.
