Towing: how we help
Need a tow for your 2005 Scion tC? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it with a trusted shop and keep you driving meanwhile. Tell us where the car is, where it should go, and whether the keys are with it.
Details the shop needs
Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 2.4L 4-cylinder. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the tC. It runs the 2.4L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive.
What we arrange
The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us.
A car meanwhile
We collect the rental when your car is back. Add a rental to the same request as the repair. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.
Small things that help
Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them.
A short checklist
Ask for a written estimate before any work starts. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree.
Talk to a person
Start with a short request; a person replies within one business day.
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.
