Towing: how we help
Your 2016 Lexus GS needs a tow? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. Tell us where the car is, where it should go, and whether the keys are with it.
Your GS and the shop
Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 3.5L 6-cylinder hybrid. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The 3.5L 6-cylinder hybrid, paired with an automatic (CVT), drives it.
The steps
You agree the price with the shop before any work starts. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name.
Your rental while you wait
If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. The rental is priced like any other on our site. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
Between shop visits
Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter. Wash the underside of the car in winter to clear road salt. Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old.
A short checklist
Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected.
Still deciding?
Need the work and a rental? One request covers both.
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.
