Lexus Smash Repair FAQs
Do you use genuine Lexus parts?
Using genuine Lexus components ensures that every repair meets manufacturer standards, maintains your vehicle’s warranty, and preserves the driving experience Lexus is known for. We never use aftermarket substitutes or generic alternatives, as they can compromise both quality and safety.
Do you assist with insurance claims?
Yes, we regularly work closely with insurance providers and assist with most types of claims. However, it is important to know that some insurers may limit your choice of repairer. In those cases, the insurer decides where your vehicle is taken. If you are not at fault in an accident, you have the legal right to select your own repairer when claiming through the at-fault party’s insurance.
In addition, you are often entitled to a like-for-like Lexus replacement vehicle for the period your car is being repaired, and our team can help arrange this. For more details, please see our Not At Fault or Insurance Repairs pages, or speak with one of our friendly staff for guidance.
Are your Lexus panel beaters qualified?
Yes, our panel beaters and spray painters are highly qualified and have extensive experience working on Lexus vehicles. We understand the unique construction and advanced technology of Lexus models, from luxury sedans to performance coupes and SUVs.
Our technicians use Lexus-approved repair methods, precision tools, and state-of-the-art equipment to restore your vehicle. Every repair is carried out with a focus on safety, accuracy, and aesthetics, ensuring your Lexus leaves our workshop in showroom condition.
Do you provide a warranty?
Yes, we proudly stand behind our workmanship. All Lexus smash repairs at South City Motor Body Works come with a lifetime warranty for as long as you own the vehicle. This reflects our confidence in the quality of the materials we use and the craftsmanship of our team. Should any issue arise related to the repair work, you can bring your Lexus back, and we will resolve it promptly at no additional cost.
Can you repair all Lexus models?
Yes, we have the expertise to repair all Lexus models. Whether you own a compact CT, a versatile RX SUV, a stylish ES sedan, or a high-performance LC coupe, our team is equipped with the knowledge and training to carry out brand-specific repairs. Each Lexus model has its own design and engineering features, and we take great care to restore your vehicle in line with factory standards.
Do I need an appointment for an estimate?
You are welcome to visit us during business hours for an in-person inspection and estimate. For convenience, we also offer an online option where you can upload detailed photos of the damage. This allows us to provide an initial guideline on repair costs. Please note, however, that a physical inspection at our South Melbourne workshop is required for an accurate, confirmed quote, as some issues may not be visible in photographs.
How long will my Lexus repair take?
Repair times vary depending on the extent of the damage and the parts required. After assessing your Lexus, we provide a clear estimate of how long the repair process will take. Minor dents or scratches may only need a short turnaround, while collision repairs will require more time. Throughout the process, we keep you updated so you know exactly when your Lexus will be ready for collection.
I’ve just had an accident in my Lexus. What should I do?
The next step depends on the situation. If no other vehicle is involved, such as scraping a pole or reversing into an object, the best option is often to obtain a repair quote first. The cost of repairs may be similar to or lower than your insurance excess, meaning you may not need to make a claim.
If another vehicle is involved and you are at fault, the other party has the right to choose their own repairer and may also be entitled to a hire car. In these cases, lodging an insurance claim is usually the best course of action.
If the fault is unclear, take clear photos of both vehicles, the accident scene, and any visible damage. Gather the other driver’s contact and license details. Once you have this information, contact South City Motor Body Works, and we will assess the damage and guide you on your next steps.
Someone has crashed into my Lexus. What should I do next?
If another driver has hit your Lexus and they are at fault, this is considered a third-party claim. In this situation, the at-fault driver or their insurer is responsible for covering the cost of your repairs, which can also include providing you with a replacement hire car while your Lexus is being repaired.
After the accident, it is important to collect the other driver’s name, address, vehicle registration, license details, and the contact information of any witnesses. You should also take clear photos of your Lexus, the other vehicle, and the accident scene, including the driver’s licence if possible.
Once you have these details, bring them to South City Motor Body Works. Our team will guide you through the process and ensure your Lexus is repaired using genuine parts and manufacturer-approved methods, restoring it to the highest standard.
