Towing: how we help
Need a tow for the 1994 Ford Taurus? We arrange it with a trusted shop; the work is never done by CarmaCars. Once you are safe, send a request with where the car is and where it should go.
Your Taurus and the shop
Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Taurus. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Under the hood: the 3.0L 6-cylinder and front-wheel drive.
What CarmaCars does here
Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
We collect the rental when your car is back. Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. Delivery starts at $75 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
Small things that help
Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Check that all lights work every few weeks. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them.
What to ask
Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept.
Still deciding?
Tell us what is wrong with the car, and we arrange the rest with a trusted shop.
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.
