Booking the work for the Silverado
The 2012 Chevrolet Silverado needs paint work? Send photos and when it suits you. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
The car itself
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
What to send us
Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. You can add a rental to the same request. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work.
Stay on the road
Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
Planning around the work
We call or write when the car is ready, and you collect it or we arrange the handover. If you need the car back by a date, say so and we plan for it.
Getting the car ready
Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Ask any question you have before the work starts. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim.
Keeping it that way
Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car. Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior.
What affects the price
The same job can take more time on a car with more trim or detail. Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match. If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part.
One more step
Send a request with the car and the work, and we reply with a price and a time.
