Auto paint: your Riviera
For the 1985 Buick Riviera, 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.
About your Riviera
As a mid-size car, it is a straightforward size for this work. We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
How to request it
Your quote is for your car, not a general price list. Ask anything about the work in the request. You can add a rental to the same request.
A car while yours is in
A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
On the day
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. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to.
How long it takes
If the car must stay overnight, we tell you before it comes in. A clear timeline comes with every quote.
Pricing, plainly
If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part. The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer. A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly.
Looking after it afterwards
Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish. Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels.
