Arranging the work for the 4Runner
Your 2003 Toyota 4Runner needs battery service? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. A battery that struggles in the cold is often near the end of its life.
About your 4Runner
Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 4.0L 6-cylinder. Its 4.0L 6-cylinder drives through a 4-speed automatic.
From request to repair
You approve the shop's quote before any work. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
Add a rental to the same request as the repair. Rent by the day while the shop has your car. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.
A short checklist
Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back.
Car care, briefly
Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Check that all lights work every few weeks. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires.
Questions first?
Tell us the job and the car, and a person replies.
Request battery boost
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.
