Arranging the work for the 4Runner
The 2018 Toyota 4Runner and a tow: CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop, and never does the work itself. Tell us where the car is, where it should go, and whether the keys are with it.
Your car, your notes
Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 4.0L 6-cylinder. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the 4Runner. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Power comes from the 4.0L 6-cylinder, driving through a 5-speed automatic.
Our part and the shop's part
We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. You approve the shop's quote before any work. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there.
A car meanwhile
Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
Good habits for your car
Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter.
Getting a clear quote
Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for.
Send a request
Need the work and a rental? One request covers both.
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.
