Towing: how we help
The 1986 Mazda 626 and a tow: CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop, and never does the work itself. Tell us where the car is, where it should go, and whether the keys are with it.
Details the shop needs
If you have the service history of your 626, have it ready for the shop. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. The engine is the 2.0L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual.
How the request works
You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. You agree everything with the shop before work begins. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop.
A car meanwhile
Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Getting a clear quote
Ask for a written estimate before any work starts. If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours.
Between shop visits
Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Look at the tire tread before long trips. Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair.
Questions first?
Send the car's details and the job, and we take the next step.
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.
