Arranging the work for the Eclipse
For a tow on your 2008 Mitsubishi Eclipse, we arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. Tell us where the car is, where it should go, and whether the keys are with it.
Details the shop needs
Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Under the hood: the 2.4L 4-cylinder and front-wheel drive.
What to send us
Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. You agree everything with the shop before work begins. We keep you posted until the car is booked in.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
Rent by the day while the shop has your car. Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.
Small things that help
Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires.
Talking to the shop
Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used.
Ask us
Start with the car, the job and your location.
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.
