The 2003 Toyota 4Runner: Engine repair
Your 2003 Toyota 4Runner needs engine work? We arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. Engine work ranges from a leak to a rebuild; the shop inspects the car and quotes it.
Your car, your notes
Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the 4Runner. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. It is powered by the 4.0L 6-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive.
Our part and the shop's part
Send a request with the car and what it needs; a person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one. You agree everything with the shop before work begins. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date.
Stay on the road
We collect the rental when your car is back. Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.
Between shop visits
Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due.
Getting a clear quote
If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. Ask for a written estimate before any work starts. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour.
Let us know
Tell us what is wrong with the car, and we arrange the rest with a trusted shop.
Request engine repair
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.
