The 2018 Lexus IS: Towing
Need a tow for your 2018 Lexus IS? 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.
Your car, your notes
Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the IS. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. It is powered by the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with rear-wheel drive.
How the request works
The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. 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.
A car while yours is in the shop
A rental keeps your week on track during the repair. Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. We hand every car over in person, at your address or at our location.
Before the shop starts
Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up.
Between shop visits
Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair. Check that all lights work every few weeks.
Next step
Tell us what is wrong with the car, and we arrange the rest with a trusted shop.
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.
