Arranging the work for the GS
For mechanical repairs or maintenance on the 2001 Lexus GS, a trusted shop does the work and CarmaCars arranges it, with a rental if you need one. Regular maintenance keeps small problems from turning into large ones.
Your car, your notes
Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. If you have the service history of your GS, have it ready for the shop. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. The 3.0L 6-cylinder does the work, through a 5-speed automatic.
Who does what
We keep you posted until the car is booked in. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in.
Your rental while you wait
We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
Talking to the shop
If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back.
Between shop visits
Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months.
Your move
Need a rental too? Add it to the same request.
Request mechanic
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.
