The 1986 Buick Regal: Auto paint
For the 1986 Buick Regal, paint work starts with a quote from a person, never a guess. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
Size and finish
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
Getting a price
We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. Your quote is for your car, not a general price list. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price.
A car while yours is in
We bring the rental to you and collect it later. Choose a car from our fleet for the days the work takes. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
After the work
A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint. Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks.
On the day
Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. Ask any question you have before the work starts.
When the car is ready
Most small jobs fit within a day; larger ones are booked over several days. Book a little ahead for larger jobs; small ones can be quicker to schedule.
Why prices differ
If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price. Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do. Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time.
