Arranging the work for the GS
For battery service on the 2009 Lexus GS, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and rents you a car while yours is in. A battery that struggles in the cold is often near the end of its life.
Details the shop needs
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The 3.5L 6-cylinder hybrid, paired with a 6-speed automatic, drives it.
Who does what
Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. You agree everything with the shop before work begins.
Keep moving meanwhile
Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Before the shop starts
Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree.
Good habits for your car
Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due.
Still deciding?
Send the car's details and the job, and we take the next step.
Request battery boost
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.
