Towing: how we help
The 1997 Subaru Legacy and a tow: CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop, and never does the work itself. Tell us where the car is, where it should go, and whether the keys are with it.
Details the shop needs
If you have the service history of your Legacy, have it ready for the shop. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the Legacy. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them.
From request to repair
The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in.
Stay on the road
We collect the rental when your car is back. We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
What to ask
Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours.
Car care, briefly
Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule. Check that all lights work every few weeks. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old.
One more step
Tell us what is wrong with the car, and we arrange the rest with a trusted shop.
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.
