Arranging the work for the GS
Your 2013 Lexus GS needs battery service? We arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. Lights left on overnight are the classic reason for a flat battery.
About your GS
Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. The 3.5L 6-cylinder hybrid with rear-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at.
How we help
You approve the shop's quote before any work. We keep you posted until the car is booked in. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. Add a rental to the same request as the repair. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.
Car care, briefly
Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months. Look at the tire tread before long trips.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for.
Over to you
One request: the job, the car, and whether you need a rental meanwhile.
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.
