Rust repair: the 2008 Lexus ES
This page covers rust repair for the 2008 Lexus ES, and a rental while the car is with us. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
About your ES
As a mid-size car, it is a straightforward size for this work. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
The request
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 car while yours is in
Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. A rental means the work does not stop your week. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.
Getting the car ready
Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Ask any question you have before the work starts.
Why prices differ
Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match. The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer. If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part.
Looking after it afterwards
Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car. If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us.
Planning around the work
We call or write when the car is ready, and you collect it or we arrange the handover. Most small jobs fit within a day; larger ones are booked over several days.
