Arranging the work for the LS
Battery boost for the 1997 Lexus LS: the work is done by a shop we trust, never by CarmaCars. A battery that struggles in the cold is often near the end of its life.
About your LS
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. The 4.0L 8-cylinder is what moves it, with rear-wheel drive.
The steps
The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. You agree everything with the shop before work begins.
A rental while you wait
Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.
Between shop visits
If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule.
Questions to ask the shop
If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you.
Questions first?
Send a request with the car and what it needs, and a person replies within one business day.
