Safety certificate for the 1990 Lexus LS
Safety certificate for the 1990 Lexus LS: the work is done by a shop we trust, never by CarmaCars. A used car you buy in Ontario needs a Safety Standards Certificate before it can be plated.
Your car, your notes
Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 4.0L 8-cylinder. The 4.0L 8-cylinder with rear-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at.
How the request works
You agree everything with the shop before work begins. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven.
Keep moving meanwhile
If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. Add a rental to the same request as the repair. Delivery starts at $75 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
Between shop visits
Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold.
Getting a clear quote
Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept. If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it.
Ask us
A request is free and gets a reply within one business day.
Request safety certificate
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.
