Booking the work for the Pickup
CarmaCars takes requests for paint work on the 1988 GMC Pickup, and rents you a car while yours is in. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
Your Pickup, up close
If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
What happens after you ask
Ask anything about the work in the request. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time.
A rental while we work
A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. Add a rental to the same request as the work. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
What affects the price
The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes. We price the job before we start, never after. A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation.
Aftercare
Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car. Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car.
How long you are without it
You can plan the rental for the same number of days as the work. If you need the car back by a date, say so and we plan for it.
Before you drop the car off
Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule.
