Your LX and rust repair
Your 2004 Lexus LX 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
Premium cars often have more trim and sensors to work around; mention any options in your request. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
Getting a price
Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. You can add a rental to the same request.
A rental meanwhile
A rental means the work does not stop your week. Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
Looking after it afterwards
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.
How long you are without it
Weather and curing times can change the schedule for some work. Book a little ahead for larger jobs; small ones can be quicker to schedule.
On the day
If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule.
What goes into a quote
The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer. Ask what is included, so you can compare quotes fairly. We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear.

Send a request with the car and the work, and we reply with a price and a time.
