Paint touch up: your GS
This page covers scratch repair for the 2008 Lexus GS, and a rental while the car is with us. Light scratches can be polished out; deeper ones are filled and repainted. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
About your GS
Mention the trim and options, so we plan around sensors and trim pieces. A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
What to send us
A person reads your request and replies with the next step. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. We reply within one business day with a time and a price.
A rental meanwhile
Rent the size of car you need for the days the work takes. Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
On the day
Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one.
Timing
Tell us the date you need the car back, and we say whether it is realistic. If you need the car back by a date, say so and we plan for it.
Why prices differ
The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes. The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer. Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more.
Looking after it afterwards
A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint. Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car.
Talk to a person
A short request is all it takes to get a price for your car.
