Towing: how we help
The 2003 Honda Pilot 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.
Before the shop sees your Pilot
Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. It uses the 3.5L 6-cylinder and all-wheel drive.
What CarmaCars does here
We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name.
A car meanwhile
We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
Talking to the shop
Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there. If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it.
Small things that help
Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule.
When you know your dates
Start with the car, the job and your location.
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.
Rent a car while yours is in in Toronto
