Arranging the work for the LS
For a tow on the 1996 Lexus LS, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and rents you a car while yours is in. Once you are safe, send a request with where the car is and where it should go.
Before the shop sees your LS
The shop sets its own price and time after it sees the car. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. It is powered by the 4.0L 8-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive.
How we help
Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name. We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job.
Keep moving meanwhile
We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. Add a rental to the same request as the repair. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
Between shop visits
Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. Look at the tire tread before long trips.
What to ask
Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. Ask whether the quote includes both parts and labour. Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up.
Talk to a person
A short request starts it: the car, the problem, and when suits you.
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.
