Arranging the work for the GS
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work, but for a tow on the 2013 Lexus GS we arrange a trusted shop. If the car is blocking traffic, stay safe first and call for help.
Your GS and the shop
Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. If you have the service history of your GS, have it ready for the shop. Its 3.5L 6-cylinder hybrid drives through an automatic (CVT).
What to send us
We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us.
Keep moving meanwhile
If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. We collect the rental when your car is back. We hand every car over in person, at your address or at our location.
A short checklist
Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour.
Car care, briefly
Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Have the cabin air filter changed on the maker's schedule. Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for.
Ready to ask?
Send a request with the car and what it needs, and a person replies within one business day.
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.
