Size and finish
We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. As a car, it is a straightforward size for this work. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.

A rental meanwhile
A rental means the work does not stop your week. 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. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
When the car is ready
We keep you posted if the timing changes. Small repairs can take hours; paint and collision work can take days.
Getting the car ready
Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule.
Looking after it afterwards
New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax. Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior.
What goes into a quote
Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one. The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer. The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes.

Ready when you are: send the details of the car.
