The 1983 Ford Thunderbird: Towing
Towing for your 1983 Ford Thunderbird: arranged with a trusted shop, never done by CarmaCars, with a rental if you need one. Once you are safe, send a request with where the car is and where it should go.
Before the shop sees your Thunderbird
Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Thunderbird.
Our part and the shop's part
We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. You agree everything with the shop before work begins. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in.
A rental while you wait
A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. The rental is priced like any other on our site. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
Car care, briefly
Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due. Look at the tire tread before long trips. Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance.
Before the shop starts
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. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for.
Want a price?
Ask us, and we tell you whether we can arrange it.
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.
