The 1999 Lexus RX: Engine repair

For engine work on your 1999 Lexus RX, we arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. Engine work ranges from a leak to a rebuild; the shop inspects the car and quotes it.

Before the shop sees your RX

Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the RX. Its powertrain is the 3.0L 6-cylinder with front-wheel drive.

What to send us

We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts.

A car meanwhile

We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. Delivery to your door is available across the Toronto area.

A short checklist

If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used.

Between shop visits

Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule. Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow.

One more step

Ask us, and we tell you whether we can arrange it.

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.
