Winter tires: how we help
Your 1997 Lexus LS needs a winter tire change? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. Winter tires are worth fitting before the first snow.
Your LS and the shop
Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the LS. Note the mileage on the odometer when you send the request. If you have the service history of your LS, have it ready for the shop. The 4.0L 8-cylinder is what moves it, with rear-wheel drive.
How the request works
We pass your request to a trusted shop or give you its name. The shop quotes the job; you approve it before any work. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us.
A car meanwhile
If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. The rental is priced like any other on our site. We hand every car over in person, at your address or at our location.
Questions to ask the shop
Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there. Ask whether the parts are new, rebuilt or used. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you.
Car care, briefly
Note the mileage when each service is done, so you know when the next is due. Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. Keep the fuel tank above a quarter in winter.
Get an offer
Send a request with the car and what it needs, and a person replies within one business day.
