Arranging the work for the LX
For engine work on the 2003 Lexus LX, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and never does the work itself. An engine that runs rough, smokes or overheats needs a look soon.
Your car, your notes
If you have the service history of your LX, have it ready for the shop. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 4.7L 8-cylinder. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Its 4.7L 8-cylinder drives through a 5-speed automatic.
How we help
You agree everything with the shop before work begins. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name.
A rental while you wait
Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon.
Small things that help
Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring.
Let us know
A request is free and gets a reply within one business day.
Request engine repair
