The 2016 Lexus GS: Engine repair
Engine repair for the 2016 Lexus GS: the work is done by a shop we trust, never by CarmaCars. An engine that runs rough, smokes or overheats needs a look soon.
Your GS and the shop
Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the GS. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 3.5L 6-cylinder hybrid. The powertrain here is the 3.5L 6-cylinder hybrid with rear-wheel drive and an automatic (CVT).
What to send us
We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name. You agree everything with the shop before work begins. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in.
Your rental while you wait
Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.
Between shop visits
Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair. Check that all lights work every few weeks.
What to ask
Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice. If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour.
