Arranging the work for the IS
Need a diagnostic check for the 2012 Lexus IS? We arrange it with a trusted shop; the work is never done by CarmaCars. A steady check engine light needs a check soon; a flashing one means pull over safely and get help.
About your IS
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 2.5L 6-cylinder. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The engine is the 2.5L 6-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive and a 6-speed automatic.
Our part and the shop's part
Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. We keep you posted until the car is booked in.
A car while yours is in the shop
If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. Delivery to your door is available across the Toronto area.
Car care, briefly
Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected.
Your move
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.
