Arranging the work for the GS
For a wheel alignment on the 1998 Lexus GS, CarmaCars arranges a trusted shop and rents you a car while yours is in. A crooked steering wheel on a straight road is a common sign the alignment is off.
Your GS and the shop
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 3.0L 6-cylinder. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. The 3.0L 6-cylinder with rear-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at.
Who does what
The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. 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. Send the car's details and what it needs; we take it from there.
A rental while you wait
We deliver the rental to you and collect it when your car is ready. Keep the rental as long as the repair takes. Delivery starts at $0 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
Before the shop starts
Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice.
Car care, briefly
Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due. Switch to winter tires before the first snow, and back in spring. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires.
Want a price?
Ask in your request, and we tell you plainly what we can arrange.
