Winter tires: how we help
For a winter tire change on the 2005 Lexus RX, a trusted shop does the work and CarmaCars arranges it, with a rental if you need one. Swapping to winter tires in fall and back in spring is the usual routine.
About your RX
The shop may ask for the VIN to order the right parts. Tell the shop about any warning light or sound you have noticed. Tell the shop the tire size printed on the sidewall; it differs by trim. The 3.3L 6-cylinder, paired with a 5-speed automatic, drives it.
From request to repair
We tell you plainly if we do not know a shop for the job. You approve the shop's quote before any work. You agree everything with the shop before work begins.
A car while yours is in the shop
The rental is priced like any other on our site. Rent by the day or the week, and stop when your car is back. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
Talking to the shop
Keep the invoice; it is part of the car's service history. Ask whether the estimate includes tax and shop supplies. Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon.
Between shop visits
Keep an emergency kit in the trunk in winter. Look at the tire tread before long trips. Do not ignore a warning light; an early check often costs less than a late repair.
Your move
A request is free and gets a reply within one business day.
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.
