Your Impala and paint work

Your 1981 Chevrolet Impala needs paint work? Send the details, and we reply within one business day. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.

The car itself

A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.

From request to appointment

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. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price.

Driving while yours is in

A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.

What goes into a quote

Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one. For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work. The same job can take more time on a car with more trim or detail.

Looking after it afterwards

Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks. Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels.

Getting the car ready

Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. 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.

When the car is ready

Coatings and paint need time to cure, which is part of the schedule. We confirm how long the car will be with us when we confirm the price.

Ready when you are

Book the work with a short request, and add a rental if you need one.
