Arranging the work for the LS
CarmaCars does not do mechanical work, but for a winter tire change on the 2008 Lexus LS we arrange a trusted shop. Tread depth matters for grip in rain and snow; the shop measures it.
About your LS
Mention the trim and engine in your request; parts differ between them. A photo of the dashboard warning light helps the shop prepare. All-wheel drive cars are fussy about matching tires; replace them as a set when the shop advises it. It runs the 5.0L 8-cylinder hybrid, with all-wheel drive.
What CarmaCars does here
We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. The shop sets the price and the time after seeing the car. You approve the shop's quote before any work.
A rental while you wait
Pick a car that suits your week from our fleet. Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Car care, briefly
Have the battery tested before winter if it is more than a few years old. Top up the washer fluid with a winter mix in the cold months. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them.
Talking to the shop
Ask the shop to explain the repair in plain words before you agree. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice. Ask whether the shop will check anything related while the car is there.
