Arranging the work for the 4Runner
For a tow on the 2001 Toyota 4Runner, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and rents you a car while yours is in. Tell us where the car is, where it should go, and whether the keys are with it.
Before the shop sees your 4Runner
Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. If you have the service history of your 4Runner, have it ready for the shop. Under the hood: the 3.4L 6-cylinder and rear-wheel drive.
How the request works
You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. 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. Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
Good habits for your car
Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Check that all lights work every few weeks. Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance.
Getting a clear quote
Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour.
Want a price?
One request: the job, the car, and whether you need a rental meanwhile.
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.
