Auto repair for the 1997 Lexus LS

Here is how we handle body repair for the 1997 Lexus LS: the request, the work and a car to drive meanwhile. This is body repair. Mechanical work such as engines, brakes and oil changes is not part of it.

Size and finish

Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.

Getting a price

Your quote is for your car, not a general price list. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. Ask anything about the work in the request.

Need a car meanwhile?

Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.

Why prices differ

The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer. Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one. A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation.

When the car is ready

Most small jobs fit within a day; larger ones are booked over several days. You can plan the rental for the same number of days as the work.

Looking after it afterwards

Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint. Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car.

A few things first

Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim.
