Arranging the work for the LS
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work. For battery service on the 2012 Lexus LS, we connect you with a trusted shop. A slow crank on a cold morning is often the first sign of a tired battery.
Before the shop sees your LS
If you have the service history of your LS, have it ready for the shop. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Power comes from the 5.0L 8-cylinder hybrid, driving through an automatic (CVT).
What CarmaCars does here
We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop.
A car while yours is in the shop
The rental is priced like any other on our site. If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.
What to ask
Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare.
Small things that help
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. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter.
Ready to ask?
A short request starts it: the car, the problem, and when suits you.
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.
