Arranging the work for the SC
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work. For mechanical repairs or maintenance on the 1997 Lexus SC, we connect you with a trusted shop. Tell us what the car is doing, and we find a shop suited to the job.
Before the shop sees your SC
Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Its powertrain is the 3.0L 6-cylinder with rear-wheel drive.
The steps
We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. You agree everything with the shop before work begins. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts.
A car meanwhile
Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. Add a rental to the same request as the repair. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon. Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept.
Between shop visits
Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive. Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair. Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance.
Want a price?
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.
