Arranging the work for the Suburban

CarmaCars does not do mechanical work. For a tow on the 1981 GMC Suburban, we connect you with a trusted shop. Once you are safe, send a request with where the car is and where it should go.

Details the shop needs

Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them.

Who does what

You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. We keep you posted until the car is booked in.

A car while yours is in the shop

A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.

Talking to the shop

Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept.

Good habits for your car

Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for.

When you know your dates

Start with a short request; a person replies within one business day.

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.
