Mechanic: how we help
CarmaCars does not do this work itself. For mechanical repairs or maintenance on the 2001 Lexus IS, we arrange it with a trusted shop or connect you with one. Routine maintenance and repairs are done by a mechanic at a shop we trust, not by CarmaCars.
Before the shop sees your IS
Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 3.0L 6-cylinder. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the IS. The 3.0L 6-cylinder, paired with a 5-speed automatic, drives it.
How we help
You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job.
Driving while yours is at the shop
We collect the rental when your car is back. Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. Delivery to your door is available across the Toronto area.
A short checklist
If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you.
Small things that help
Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them. Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due.
Ready to ask?
Need the work and a rental? One request covers both.
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.
