The 2004 Lexus LS: Engine repair
For engine work on the 2004 Lexus LS, a trusted shop does the work and CarmaCars arranges it, with a rental if you need one. An engine that runs rough, smokes or overheats needs a look soon.
Your car, your notes
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. The 4.3L 8-cylinder does the work, through a 6-speed automatic.
How we help
We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop.
Keep moving meanwhile
We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
Good habits for your car
Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires. Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice.
Ask us
A request is free and gets a reply within one business day.
Request engine repair
