The work on your Corvette
Your 1998 Chevrolet Corvette and paint work: what to send us, what it involves, and a car to drive meanwhile. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
The car itself
If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. It measures 4.56 m long by 1.87 m wide. It fits most condo and driveway spots. There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
How to request it
Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time.
Driving while yours is in
Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. 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. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
After the work
Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car. Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish.
What goes into a quote
If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part. Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one. We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job.
Before you drop the car off
Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim.
When the car is ready
Weather and curing times can change the schedule for some work. Small repairs can take hours; paint and collision work can take days.
Next step
Send a request with the car and the work, and we reply with a price and a time.
