Your IS, up close
Mention the trim and options, so we plan around sensors and trim pieces. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. NHTSA lists 7 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.

A rental meanwhile
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.
On the day
Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day.
What goes into a quote
A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly. We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear. Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do.
Aftercare
Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint. Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels.

Weather and curing times can change the schedule for some work. If you need the car back by a date, say so and we plan for it.
