Lexus Respray

[T2000]

Hi all,

Ive got a Red Is200 Sport 2004. A year ago a woman didnt put her handbrake on her car on a hill and it ploughed into my bumper :duh: She paid for my bumper to be resprayed by lexus workshop in september 2009. Ive just noticed bubbling on it now. Its only a small amount near the headlight, but im just wondering if there is any warranty lexus gives on their resprays. Anyone know?

Its going back in the Lexus garage in the next few weeks for an 80K service and i have alot of white smoke when its cold, so as it looks like im going to pay upto a grand for all this work, it would be nice to know if they could redo the bumper for free if its under warranty

you should have a word with the manager there. but i doubt it if there is any warrenty

It should be covered for a year at least, so if you only had the work done a few months ago you really should get it sorted by them. Which dealer did you have it done at?

[peco84]

you should have a minimum of 12 months warrenty on paint especially with a toyota/lexus authorised bodyshop

yip will be covered mate 12 months to be exact as for the smoke thats normal when it gets cold.

It was done at Woodford (North London).

Its typical, why do things go wrong after a warranty period of just a few weeks.lol. If it is a 12 month warranty, then ive gone over it.

It doesnt look too bad and i would never pay for it to get re-done. Well not yet anyway. You never know though, maybe the manager will get it looked at if im putting alot of money for other work over the counter.

If it's Woodford, you'll be fine, I've used their bodyshop several times and they're great. Make sure you only deal with James at Lexus and Sean in the bodyshop and you can't go wrong.

Cheers, i'll be taking it for the servicing etc in the next 2 weeks. I'll let you know what they say.
