Engine repair: how we help
Your 2017 Lexus RC needs engine work? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. An engine that runs rough, smokes or overheats needs a look soon.
Before the shop sees your RC
If you have the service history of your RC, have it ready for the shop. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. The powertrain to know here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with rear-wheel drive.
What to send us
We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name. You agree everything with the shop before work begins.
Your rental while you wait
We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
Car care, briefly
Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for.
Still deciding?
Start with a short request; a person replies within one business day.
