Arranging the work for the LS
Engine repair for the 2005 Lexus LS: 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 LS and the shop
Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. The 4.3L 8-cylinder with rear-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at.
Our part and the shop's part
We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car.
Your rental while you wait
Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
Good habits for your car
Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule. Look at the tire tread before long trips.
Talking to the shop
Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate.
Questions first?
A request is free and gets a reply within one business day.
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.
