Towing: how we help
For a tow on the 2005 Toyota 4Runner, CarmaCars arranges it with a trusted shop or connects you with one; the work is done by the shop, not by CarmaCars. Once you are safe, send a request with where the car is and where it should go.
About your 4Runner
Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. The 4.0L 6-cylinder is what moves it, with rear-wheel drive.
How the request works
We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.
Good habits for your car
Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow. Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt.
Before the shop starts
Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there. Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected.
Send a request
Describe the problem, and we arrange a trusted shop.
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.
