Auto paint for the 1996 Buick Skylark
Here is how we handle paint work for the 1996 Buick Skylark: 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.
About your Skylark
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
Getting a quote
Your quote is for your car, not a general price list. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work.
Stay on the road
Choose a car from our fleet for the days the work takes. Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
After the work
Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car. Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks.
How long you are without it
Pick-up time is confirmed when the work is finished. You can plan the rental for the same number of days as the work.
On the day
Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work.
Why prices differ
Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more. If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part. Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work.
