Engine repair: how we help
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work. For engine work on the 2013 Lexus LS, we connect you with a trusted shop. An engine that runs rough, smokes or overheats needs a look soon.
Before the shop sees your LS
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the LS. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 5.0L 8-cylinder hybrid. The 5.0L 8-cylinder hybrid with all-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at.
The steps
We keep you posted until the car is booked in. You agree everything with the shop before work begins. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
Add a rental to the same request as the repair. A rental from us keeps you moving while the shop has your car. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
Before the shop starts
Ask for a written estimate before any work starts. Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up.
Small things that help
Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold.
Still deciding?
Need the work and a rental? One request covers both.
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.
