Mechanic for the 1998 Lexus ES
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work, but for mechanical repairs or maintenance on the 1998 Lexus ES we arrange a trusted shop. Routine maintenance and repairs are done by a mechanic at a shop we trust, not by CarmaCars.
About your ES
Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 3.0L 6-cylinder. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. The 3.0L 6-cylinder with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at.
How the request works
You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in.
Driving while yours is at the shop
Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
Good habits for your car
Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell.
Before the shop starts
Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. Ask the shop to call you before doing anything not on the estimate. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour.
Questions first?
Start with a short request; a person replies within one business day.
