Your 1982 Buick Skylark: the work
Book paint work for the 1982 Buick Skylark, with a rental meanwhile if you need one. 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. We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
Getting a quote
A person reads your request and replies with the next step. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more.
Need a car meanwhile?
Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. While it is repaired, rent from us: an insurance replacement rental when the repair is a claim your adjuster approves, or at our usual rates. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
Why prices differ
A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation. We price the job before we start, never after. Ask what is included, so you can compare quotes fairly.
Looking after it afterwards
Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels. Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior.
What to bring
Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Ask any question you have before the work starts. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one.
Planning around the work
A clear timeline comes with every quote. Coatings and paint need time to cure, which is part of the schedule.

Send photos and a few details, and a person replies with the next step.
