Engine repair: how we help
The 1990 Lexus LS and engine work: CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop, and never does the work itself. An engine that runs rough, smokes or overheats needs a look soon.
About your LS
Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the LS. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. The 4.0L 8-cylinder is what moves it, with rear-wheel drive.
What CarmaCars does here
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. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts.
A rental while you wait
Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Talking to the shop
If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for.
Car care, briefly
Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell.
Your move
Tell us what is wrong with the car, and we arrange the rest with a trusted shop.
Request engine repair
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.
