Towing: how we help
The 2012 Porsche 911 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.
Your car, your notes
Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 3.6L 6-cylinder. The powertrain here is the 3.6L 6-cylinder with rear-wheel drive and a 7-speed automatic.
The steps
We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name.
A car meanwhile
We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. Add a rental to the same request as the repair. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
Before the shop starts
Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected.
Between shop visits
Check that all lights work every few weeks. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule.
Send a request
Send a request: the car, the problem and when suits you.
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.
