Engine repair: how we help
For engine work on the 2016 Toyota 4Runner, a trusted shop does the work and CarmaCars arranges it, with a rental if you need one. Engine work ranges from a leak to a rebuild; the shop inspects the car and quotes it.
Before the shop sees your 4Runner
Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. If you have the service history of your 4Runner, have it ready for the shop. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. The powertrain here is the 4.0L 6-cylinder with rear-wheel drive and a 5-speed automatic.
Our part and the shop's part
We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. 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. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date.
Keep moving meanwhile
Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
Before the shop starts
If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you.
Small things that help
Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter.
Still deciding?
Send a request: the car, the problem and when suits you.
