Your 2008 Lexus GS: the work
The 2008 Lexus GS needs collision repair? Send photos and when it suits you. Repairs can go through an insurance claim or be paid directly; tell us which in your request. Collision repair covers panels, bumpers, paint and, when needed, frame and structural work.
What your car means for the work
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. Mention the trim and options, so we plan around sensors and trim pieces. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
The request
You can add a rental to the same request. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work.
Keep driving meanwhile
While it is repaired, rent from us: an insurance replacement rental when the repair is a claim your adjuster approves, or at our usual rates. We collect the rental when your car is ready. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
How long you are without it
If you need the car back by a date, say so and we plan for it. Weather and curing times can change the schedule for some work.
Looking after it afterwards
Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint. If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us.
What affects the price
Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work. Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match. We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear.
Getting the car ready
Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Ask any question you have before the work starts. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim.
Next step
Questions about the work? Ask them in your request.
