Towing: how we help
CarmaCars does not do this work itself. For a tow on the 2002 Volvo VNL, we arrange it with a trusted shop or connect you with one. If the car is blocking traffic, stay safe first and call for help.
About your VNL
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the VNL.
What to send us
You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. We keep you posted until the car is booked in. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
We collect the rental when your car is back. A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. Delivery to your door is available across the Toronto area.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used.
Car care, briefly
Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Check that all lights work every few weeks. Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt.
Let us know
Need the work and a rental? One request covers both.
