Towing: how we help
For a tow on the 1985 Mercury Capri, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and never does the work itself. If the car is blocking traffic, stay safe first and call for help.
Before the shop sees your Capri
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 2.3L 4-cylinder. Under the hood: the 2.3L 4-cylinder and rear-wheel drive.
What to send us
We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. 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.
A car meanwhile
We collect the rental when your car is back. Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
Small things that help
Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter.
Questions to ask the shop
Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used.
Let us know
Need a rental too? Add it to the same request.
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.
