Arranging the work for the CJ
Towing for your 1985 Jeep CJ: arranged with a trusted shop, never done by CarmaCars, with a rental if you need one. Tell us where the car is, where it should go, and whether the keys are with it.
Your CJ and the shop
Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The 2.5L 4-cylinder is what moves it, with all-wheel drive.
What to send us
Send a request with the car and what it needs; a person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
Talking to the shop
Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there.
Between shop visits
Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring.
Your move
Send a request: the car, the problem and when suits you.
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.
