Arranging the work for the 780
Towing for the 1990 Volvo 780: the work is done by a shop we trust, never by CarmaCars. If the car is blocking traffic, stay safe first and call for help.
Your 780 and the shop
Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. It runs the 2.3L 4-cylinder turbo, with rear-wheel drive.
From request to repair
We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
A short checklist
Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate. If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it.
Good habits for your car
Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Check that all lights work every few weeks.
Still deciding?
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.
