Towing: how we help
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work. For a tow on the 2005 Saab 9-5, we connect you with a trusted shop. Tell us where the car is, where it should go, and whether the keys are with it.
Before the shop sees your 9-5
Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. If you have the service history of your 9-5, have it ready for the shop. It runs the 2.3L 4-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive.
Our part and the shop's part
We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts.
A rental while you wait
We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.
Between shop visits
Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Look at the tire tread before long trips.
A short checklist
Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up.
Your move
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.
