Booking the work for the SC
Your 2008 Lexus SC 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.
Your SC, up close
We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. Premium cars often have more trim and sensors to work around; mention any options in your request. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
Booking a time
We reply within one business day with a time and a price. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. You can add a rental to the same request.
Keep your week on track
We collect the rental when your car is ready. A rental means the work does not stop your week. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
After the work
New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax. Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car.
Why prices differ
We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job. Ask what is included, so you can compare quotes fairly. Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one.
How long it takes
Coatings and paint need time to cure, which is part of the schedule. Book a little ahead for larger jobs; small ones can be quicker to schedule.
What to bring
Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim.
When you know your dates
Send a request with a few photos, and we reply with a price.
