Arranging the work for the LS
Tire change for the 1997 Lexus LS: the work is done by a shop we trust, never by CarmaCars. Tread depth matters for grip in rain and snow; the shop measures it.
Your LS and the shop
Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Its 4.0L 8-cylinder drives through a 4-speed automatic.
What CarmaCars does here
Send a request with the car and what it needs; a person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one. You approve the shop's quote before any work. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us.
Driving while yours is at the shop
We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. Rent by the day while the shop has your car. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
Good habits for your car
Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. 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.
Before the shop starts
Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice. If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours.
Send a request
Send the car's details and the job, and we take the next step.

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.
