Towing: how we help
Need a tow for the 2012 Volvo VAH? We arrange it with a trusted shop; the work is never done by CarmaCars. Once you are safe, send a request with where the car is and where it should go.
Before the shop sees your VAH
If you have the service history of your VAH, have it ready for the shop. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop.
How we help
The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
Getting a clear quote
Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there. If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour.
Car care, briefly
Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months.
Talk to a person
Need a rental too? Add it to the same request.
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.
