The 1998 Pontiac Sunfire: Auto paint
Auto paint for the 1998 Pontiac Sunfire: tell us about the car, and a person replies with a price and a time. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
About your Sunfire
A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
How to request it
We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. You can add a rental to the same request. A person reads your request and replies with the next step.
Your car is in; you are not stuck
A rental means the work does not stop your week. We collect the rental when your car is ready. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.
What to bring
If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work.
Aftercare
Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car. Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels.
Why prices differ
The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer. 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.
When the car is ready
Small repairs can take hours; paint and collision work can take days. If the work runs longer than planned, we let you know and you can keep the rental.
