Towing: how we help
The 2017 Ford Taurus 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
Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Power: the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo; drive: front-wheel drive.
What CarmaCars does here
The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in.
A car meanwhile
The rental is priced like any other on our site. We collect the rental when your car is back. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.
Good habits for your car
Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. Look at the tire tread before long trips. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used.
Ready to ask?
Send the car's details and the job, and we take the next step.
Request towing
