Booking the work for the LS
For your 2009 Lexus LS, rust repair starts with a short request. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
The car itself
As a mid-size car, it is a straightforward size for this work. Premium cars often have more trim and sensors to work around; mention any options in your request. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
Booking a time
You can add a rental to the same request. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. Ask anything about the work in the request.
Stay on the road
Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
How long you are without it
You can plan the rental for the same number of days as the work. Most small jobs fit within a day; larger ones are booked over several days.
Aftercare
Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels. Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint.
Pricing, plainly
For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work. Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more. Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time.
What to bring
Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one.
