Rust repair: your ES
Your 1998 Lexus ES and rust repair: what to send us, what it involves, and a car to drive meanwhile. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
Size and finish
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
The request
Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. A person reads your request and replies with the next step.
Driving while yours is in
Rent the size of car you need for the days the work takes. Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
Timing
We confirm how long the car will be with us when we confirm the price. If the car must stay overnight, we tell you before it comes in.
How the price is set
Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match. Ask what is included, so you can compare quotes fairly. Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time.
After the work
Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior. A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint.
On the day
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. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work.
Let us know
Tell us about the car and the work, and we take it from there.
