The work on your IS
CarmaCars takes requests for scratch repair on the 2008 Lexus IS, and rents you a car while yours is in. 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.
The car itself
We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
What to send us
Ask anything about the work in the request. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time.
A rental meanwhile
A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. We hand every car over in person, at your address or at our location.
Getting the car ready
Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Ask any question you have before the work starts. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule.
How long you are without it
A clear timeline comes with every quote. If the work runs longer than planned, we let you know and you can keep the rental.
How the price is set
We price the job before we start, never after. If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price. A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation.
After the work
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.
Send a request
Send a request with a few photos, and we reply with a price.
