Towing: how we help
The 2016 MINI Cooper and a tow: CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop, and never does the work itself. Once you are safe, send a request with where the car is and where it should go.
Details the shop needs
Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 1.5L 3-cylinder turbo. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. The powertrain to know here is the 1.5L 3-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive.
What CarmaCars does here
We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. You approve the shop's quote before any work. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work.
A car meanwhile
Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Talking to the shop
Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate. Ask for a written estimate before any work starts.
Car care, briefly
Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell.
Send a request
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.
