Arranging the work for the RX
For mechanical repairs or maintenance on your 2012 Lexus RX, we arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. Routine maintenance and repairs are done by a mechanic at a shop we trust, not by CarmaCars.
Details the shop needs
Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 3.5L 6-cylinder hybrid. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. It runs the 3.5L 6-cylinder hybrid, with front-wheel drive.
Our part and the shop's part
You approve the shop's quote before any work. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. You agree everything with the shop before work begins.
A car while yours is in the shop
Rent for as long as the job takes, by the day or the week. We bring the rental to you and collect it afterwards. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
Car care, briefly
Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. 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.
A short checklist
If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there.
Questions first?
Describe the problem, and we arrange a trusted shop.
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.
