Mechanic: how we help
For mechanical repairs or maintenance on your 2018 Lexus IS, we arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. Regular maintenance keeps small problems from turning into large ones.
Details the shop needs
Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. The powertrain here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo with rear-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic.
From request to repair
Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name. You approve the shop's quote before any work. We keep you posted until the car is booked in.
Stay on the road
Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. Keep moving with a rental while the shop has your car, by the day at our usual rates. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.
Talking to the shop
Ask how long the job should take, so you know how long to rent for. Ask for a written estimate before any work starts. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon.
Good habits for your car
Look at the tire tread before long trips. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt.
Questions first?
Start with the car, the job and your location.
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.
