Your 1997 Lexus LS: the work

For your 1997 Lexus LS, collision repair starts with a short request. Collision repair covers panels, bumpers, paint and, when needed, frame and structural work. Repairs can go through an insurance claim or be paid directly; tell us which in your request.

Size and finish

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. There are 1 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.

Booking the work

Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. You can add a rental to the same request. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more.

Driving while yours is in

Choose a car from our fleet for the days the work takes. Rent the size of car you need for the days the work takes. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.

Looking after it afterwards

Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks. Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint.

A few things first

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

How the price is set

We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear. The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer. For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work.

Planning around the work

Most small jobs fit within a day; larger ones are booked over several days. A clear timeline comes with every quote.

Next step

When you are ready, a short request books the work.
