Arranging the work for the fortwo
CarmaCars does not do this work itself. For a tow on the 2016 smart fortwo, we arrange it with a trusted shop or connect you with one. 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. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 0.9L 3-cylinder turbo. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The 0.9L 3-cylinder turbo is what moves it, with rear-wheel drive.
How we help
We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. Send a request with the car and what it needs; a person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one.
Keep moving meanwhile
We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
Getting a clear quote
Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept.
Car care, briefly
Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires.
Questions first?
Need the work and a rental? One request covers both.
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.
