The work on your Riviera
Searching for auto paint for the 1986 Buick Riviera? Here is how CarmaCars handles it. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
Size and finish
A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. As a mid-size car, it is a straightforward size for this work. NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
Getting a price
You can add a rental to the same request. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. Your quote is for your car, not a general price list.
Stay on the road
Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
Pricing, plainly
Photos let us give a closer price before we see the car in person. We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear. If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price.
On the day
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. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim.
Keeping it that way
Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels. Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car.
When the car is ready
Pick-up time is confirmed when the work is finished. If you need the car back by a date, say so and we plan for it.
