Auto paint: your Lancer
Your 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer 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.
What your car means for the work
A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. 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 happens after you ask
You can add a rental to the same request. Ask anything about the work in the request. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work.
Your car is in; you are not stuck
We bring the rental to you and collect it later. A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
When the car is ready
We confirm how long the car will be with us when we confirm the price. Weather and curing times can change the schedule for some work.
What goes into a quote
Photos let us give a closer price before we see the car in person. If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price. If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part.
A few things first
If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day.
After the work
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.
Let us know
Send a request with the car and the work, and we reply with a price and a time.
