Car diagnostics: how we help
Need a diagnostic check for your 2009 Lexus GS? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it with a trusted shop and keep you driving meanwhile. A steady check engine light needs a check soon; a flashing one means pull over safely and get help.
Your GS and the shop
Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the GS. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Power: the 3.5L 6-cylinder hybrid; drive: rear-wheel drive.
How the request works
You approve the shop's quote before any work. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
Talking to the shop
Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used.
Good habits for your car
Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive.
Let us know
Describe the problem, and we arrange a trusted shop.
Request car diagnostics
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.
