Your tC and paint work
This page covers paint work for the 2008 Scion tC, and a rental while the car is with us. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
Your tC, up close
As a small car, it is a straightforward size for this work. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
Booking a time
Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. We reply within one business day with a time and a price.
A rental meanwhile
Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. 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. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.
When the car is ready
If the car must stay overnight, we tell you before it comes in. Collect the car when it is ready, or ask us to arrange the handover.
Why prices differ
We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear. Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one. Ask what is included, so you can compare quotes fairly.
Looking after it afterwards
Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car. Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks.
A few things first
Ask any question you have before the work starts. 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.
