Booking the work for the Century
For paint work on the 2001 Buick Century, it starts with a short request: what it needs and when. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
Your Century, up close
If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
How to request it
Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time.
A car while yours is in
A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. While it is repaired, rent from us: an insurance replacement rental when the repair is a claim your adjuster approves, or at our usual rates. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
Keeping it that way
A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint. Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish.
What to bring
If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to.
How long you are without it
Tell us the date you need the car back, and we say whether it is realistic. You can plan the rental for the same number of days as the work.
What goes into a quote
The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes. The same job can take more time on a car with more trim or detail. Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do.
