Arranging the work for the 4Runner
For a tow on the 2004 Toyota 4Runner, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and rents you a car while yours is in. Once you are safe, send a request with where the car is and where it should go.
About your 4Runner
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. The 4.0L 6-cylinder with rear-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at.
What to send us
We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name.
Your rental while you wait
Add a rental to the same request as the repair. We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
Between shop visits
Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months. Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice. Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. Ask for a written estimate before any work starts.
Next step
Ask, and we tell you plainly what we can arrange.
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.
