The work on your STS
This page covers paint work for the 2005 Cadillac STS, and a rental while the car is with us. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
Your STS, up close
Premium cars often have more trim and sensors to work around; mention any options in your request. Mention the trim and options, so we plan around sensors and trim pieces. It is 4.99 m from end to end. Check the size of a tight parking spot. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
What to send us
We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. A person reads your request and replies with the next step. Ask anything about the work in the request.
Your car is in; you are not stuck
We collect the rental when your car is ready. 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.
What to bring
Ask any question you have before the work starts. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to.
Timing
Small repairs can take hours; paint and collision work can take days. Tell us the date you need the car back, and we say whether it is realistic.
How the price is set
We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear. The size of the car matters: an SUV or a van has more surface than a compact car. A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly.
Keeping it that way
New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax. Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks.
