Towing for the 1997 Lexus LS
Your 1997 Lexus LS needs a tow? We arrange a trusted shop; CarmaCars does not do the work. Once you are safe, send a request with where the car is and where it should go.
Details the shop needs
Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the LS. It is powered by the 4.0L 8-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive.
The steps
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. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work.
Driving while yours is at the shop
Add a rental to the same request as the repair. Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
Talking to the shop
Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. Ask whether the shop needs your keys, the wheel lock key or the spare. If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it.
Between shop visits
Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Check the tire pressure once a month, when the tires are cold. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell.
Ask us
Start with a short request; a person replies within one business day.
Request towing
