Arranging the work for the LS
For a safety certificate on the 2018 Lexus LS, a trusted shop does the work and CarmaCars arranges it, with a rental if you need one. Only a licensed inspection station can issue a Safety Standards Certificate in Ontario.
About your LS
Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the LS. Under the hood: the 3.5L 6-cylinder hybrid and rear-wheel drive.
What to send us
You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. We do not set the shop's price or promise a date. You approve the shop's quote before any work.
Your rental while you wait
The rental is priced like any other on our site. Rent by the day while the shop has your car. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
Getting a clear quote
Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. Ask what warranty the shop gives on its parts and labour. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice.
Good habits for your car
Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can. Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule. Look at the tire tread before long trips.
Get an offer
Tell us what is wrong with the car, and we arrange the rest with a trusted shop.
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.
