Rust repair: the 2018 Lexus IS
CarmaCars takes requests for rust repair on the 2018 Lexus IS, and rents you a car while yours is in. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
The car itself
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. Premium cars often have more trim and sensors to work around; mention any options in your request. NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
Your request
Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. A person reads your request and replies with the next step.
A rental while we work
Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. A rental means the work does not stop your week. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
What goes into a quote
Ask what is included, so you can compare quotes fairly. Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time. We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear.
Aftercare
Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish. Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior.
Timing
We keep you posted if the timing changes. A clear timeline comes with every quote.
What to bring
Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. 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.
