Arranging the work for the LS
For a diagnostic check on your 2006 Lexus LS, we arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. A warning light is the car asking for a diagnostic scan; the code tells the shop where to look.
Before the shop sees your LS
Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Its powertrain is the 4.3L 8-cylinder with rear-wheel drive.
What we arrange
You approve the shop's quote before any work. You agree everything with the shop before work begins. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there.
Your rental while you wait
Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Talking to the shop
Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you.
Between shop visits
Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due.
Send a request
Start with the car, the job and your location.
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.
