The 1999 Lexus SC: Engine repair
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work. For engine work on the 1999 Lexus SC, we connect you with a trusted shop. Engine work ranges from a leak to a rebuild; the shop inspects the car and quotes it.
Before the shop sees your SC
Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the SC. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Under the hood: the 3.0L 6-cylinder and rear-wheel drive.
Who does what
Send a request with the car and what it needs; a person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car.
Your rental while you wait
We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. Add a rental to the same request as the repair. Delivery starts at $75 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
A short checklist
If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there.
Good habits for your car
Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Check that all lights work every few weeks.

Tell us what is wrong with the car, and we arrange the rest with a trusted shop.
