The 2020 Tesla Model S: Towing
Your 2020 Tesla Model S needs a tow? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. If the car is blocking traffic, stay safe first and call for help.
Before the shop sees your Model S
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The electric motor with all-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at.
Our part and the shop's part
We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name. You approve the shop's quote before any work. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven.
A car meanwhile
We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
Between shop visits
Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow.
Getting a clear quote
If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare.
Let us know
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.
