Towing: how we help
For a tow on your 1997 Kia Sephia, we arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. Once you are safe, send a request with where the car is and where it should go.
About your Sephia
Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. The 1.6L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at.
How the request works
Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. You agree everything with the shop before work begins.
A car meanwhile
The rental is priced like any other on our site. We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
Good habits for your car
Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. 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. If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept.
Send a request
Ask, and we tell you plainly what we can arrange.
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.
