The work on your RX
This page covers rust repair for the 2008 Lexus RX, and a rental while the car is with us. 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. Mention the trim and options, so we plan around sensors and trim pieces. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
Booking the work
Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. A person reads your request and replies with the next step. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time.
A rental while we work
Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.
Looking after it afterwards
Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint. New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax.
Getting the car ready
Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day.
How long you are without it
If the car must stay overnight, we tell you before it comes in. We give you a time with the quote, so you can plan a rental for the right number of days.
What affects the price
Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time. A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation. Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work.
Make a request
Send a request with a few photos, and we reply with a price.
