Arranging the work for the IS
For battery service on the 2012 Lexus IS, a trusted shop does the work and CarmaCars arranges it, with a rental if you need one. A battery that struggles in the cold is often near the end of its life.
Your car, your notes
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Its 2.5L 6-cylinder drives through a 6-speed automatic.
From request to repair
The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job.
A rental while you wait
We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. The rental is priced like any other on our site. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.
A short checklist
Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon. Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up.
Car care, briefly
Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. 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.
When you know your dates
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.
Rent a car while yours is in in Toronto
