Your LeSabre and paint work
CarmaCars takes requests for paint work on the 1986 Buick LeSabre, and rents you a car while yours is in. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
Your LeSabre, 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.
Booking a time
Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. A person reads your request and replies with the next step. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more.
Stay on the road
Rent the size of car you need for the days the work takes. Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
What to bring
Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule.
How the price is set
Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one. If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price. The size of the car matters: an SUV or a van has more surface than a compact car.
Looking after it afterwards
If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us. Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car.
How long you are without it
Book a little ahead for larger jobs; small ones can be quicker to schedule. We keep you posted if the timing changes.
One more step
When you are ready, a short request books the work.
