The work on your Regal
Here is how we handle paint work for the 2001 Buick Regal: the request, the work and a car to drive meanwhile. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
What your car means for the work
A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. NHTSA lists 5 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
What to send us
You can add a rental to the same request. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. We reply within one business day with a time and a price.
A rental meanwhile
We collect the rental when your car is ready. We bring the rental to you and collect it later. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
Why prices differ
The same job can take more time on a car with more trim or detail. Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more. Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work.
Looking after it afterwards
If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us. Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car.
When the car is ready
Parts on order can add days to a repair; we tell you when that happens. We call or write when the car is ready, and you collect it or we arrange the handover.
Getting the car ready
Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Ask any question you have before the work starts. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together.
Ready when you are
A person reads your request and replies with a price and a time.
Request auto paint
Tell us when suits you; we reply within one business day with a time and a price.
