Towing: how we help
Need a tow for your 1996 Lexus GS? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it with a trusted shop and keep you driving meanwhile. Tell us where the car is, where it should go, and whether the keys are with it.
About your GS
Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the GS. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. The 3.0L 6-cylinder, paired with a 5-speed automatic, drives it.
Who does what
We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. 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. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name.
A rental while you wait
Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. Delivery to your door is available across the Toronto area.
Getting a clear quote
Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon.
Small things that help
Look at the tire tread before long trips. Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old.
Over to you
Start with the car, the job and your location.
Request towing
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.
