Your 2012 Buick Regal: the work
Your 2012 Buick Regal and paint work: what to send us, what it involves, and a car to drive meanwhile. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
The car itself
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
What happens after you ask
Your quote is for your car, not a general price list. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected.
A rental while we work
A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. We collect the rental when your car is ready. Delivery starts at $0 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
Keeping it that way
A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint. New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax.
Before you drop the car off
Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day.
How the price is set
We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job. Photos let us give a closer price before we see the car in person. If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price.
How long you are without it
If you need the car back by a date, say so and we plan for it. Bigger jobs are booked in a few days ahead; small ones can often be fitted in sooner.
Make a request
Tell us what the car needs and when it is free.
