The 2012 Lexus RX: Battery boost
Your 2012 Lexus RX needs battery service? We arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. A slow crank on a cold morning is often the first sign of a tired battery.
Your RX and the shop
A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. The 3.5L 6-cylinder hybrid with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at.
What to send us
Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work.
A car meanwhile
We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
Small things that help
Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule. Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell.
Talking to the shop
Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours.
One more step
Need a rental too? Add it to the same request.
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.
