The 2005 Lexus ES: Rust repair

Book rust repair for the 2005 Lexus ES with a short request, and rent a car while yours is in. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.

The car itself

Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.

How to request it

You can add a rental to the same request. A person reads your request and replies with the next step. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more.

A car while yours is in

A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. Rent the size of car you need for the days the work takes. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.

After the work

A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint. Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car.

What affects the price

Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time. We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear. Ask what is included, so you can compare quotes fairly.

Planning around the work

If you need the car back by a date, say so and we plan for it. We confirm how long the car will be with us when we confirm the price.

A few things first

Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. 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.

Next step

A quote costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
