Towing: how we help
For a tow on the 2005 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.
About your LS
Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Its 4.3L 8-cylinder drives through a 6-speed automatic.
What CarmaCars does here
Tell us when suits you, and whether the car can be driven. You approve the shop's quote before any work. Your request goes to a person, who arranges a trusted shop or gives you its name.
A rental while you wait
We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. We can have a rental ready the day your car goes in. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
Getting a clear quote
If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back. If a warning light was the reason, ask what the code was and what fixed it. If the car must stay overnight, ask where it will be kept.
Small things that help
Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due. Keep a record of every service; it helps the shop and adds value when you sell. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive.
