Towing: how we help
Towing for the 1997 Toyota 4Runner: the work is done by a shop we trust, never by CarmaCars. If the car is blocking traffic, stay safe first and call for help.
Your car, your notes
Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Its powertrain is the 2.7L 4-cylinder with rear-wheel drive.
What to send us
We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us.
Stay on the road
If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. The rental is priced like any other on our site. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.
Talking to the shop
Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour.
Good habits for your car
Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter.
Send a request
Send the car's details and the job, and we take the next step.
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.
