Mechanic: how we help
Need mechanical repairs or maintenance for the 1997 Lexus ES? We arrange it with a trusted shop; the work is never done by CarmaCars. Tell us what the car is doing, and we find a shop suited to the job.
About your ES
Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the ES. Power comes from the 3.0L 6-cylinder, driving through a 4-speed automatic.
Our part and the shop's part
Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there. 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. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name.
No car? Rent one meanwhile
A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. The rental is priced like any other on our site. We hand every car over in person, at your address or at our location.
Between shop visits
Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used.
Over to you
Send a request: the car, the problem and when suits you.
