Arranging the work for the IS
For a winter tire change on the 2011 Lexus IS, a trusted shop does the work and CarmaCars arranges it, with a rental if you need one. Tread depth matters for grip in rain and snow; the shop measures it.
Your car, your notes
Say whether the car is drivable; it changes how it gets to the shop. Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. Tell the shop the tire size printed on the sidewall; it differs by trim. The engine is the 2.5L 6-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive and a 6-speed automatic.
Our part and the shop's part
You approve the shop's quote before any work. We can deliver a rental to you while your car is at the shop. You agree the price with the shop before any work starts.
Driving while yours is at the shop
Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. The rental is priced like any other on our site. Delivery starts at $75 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
What to ask
Ask how the shop will contact you if it finds something unexpected. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice.
Good habits for your car
Use the grade of fuel your owner's manual calls for. Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, by time or distance. Check that all lights work every few weeks.
Want a price?
Tell us what is wrong with the car, and we arrange the rest with a trusted shop.
Request winter tires
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.
