Arranging the work for the 1500
Searching for towing for the 2017 Ram 1500? CarmaCars does not do this work itself; we arrange it with a trusted shop. Once you are safe, send a request with where the car is and where it should go.
Your 1500 and the shop
Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the 1500. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. Power: the 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo; drive: rear-wheel drive.
How the arrangement works
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. You agree everything with the shop before work begins.
A car meanwhile
A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.
Small things that help
Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair. Check that all lights work every few weeks.
What to ask
Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours.
Send a request
A short request starts it: 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.
