The 2017 Kia Optima: Towing
Your 2017 Kia Optima needs a tow? We arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. If the car is blocking traffic, stay safe first and call for help.
Your car, your notes
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. If you have the service history of your Optima, have it ready for the shop. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. The powertrain to know here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder hybrid, with front-wheel drive.
How the request works
We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name. 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. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there.
Driving while yours is at the shop
Add a rental to the same request as the repair. We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
Small things that help
Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule.
Before the shop starts
Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate.
Send a request
Tell us the job and the car, and a person replies.
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.
