Auto paint: your Skylark
Need paint work for your 1998 Buick Skylark? Tell us about the car and when suits you. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
Size and finish
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
From request to appointment
We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. Your quote is for your car, not a general price list. A person reads your request and replies with the next step.
Driving while yours is in
A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
What goes into a quote
We price the job before we start, never after. For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work. The size of the car matters: an SUV or a van has more surface than a compact car.
Keeping it that way
Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish. Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint.
Getting the car ready
Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together.
How long you are without it
We give you a time with the quote, so you can plan a rental for the right number of days. If the work runs longer than planned, we let you know and you can keep the rental.
Over to you
