Your tC and paint work
The 2009 Scion tC needs paint work? Send photos and when it suits you. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
The car itself
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
The request
We reply within one business day with a time and a price. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price.
Your car is in; you are not stuck
Add a rental to the same request as the work. Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
Looking after it afterwards
Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car. Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels.
On the day
Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work.
When the car is ready
If the work runs longer than planned, we let you know and you can keep the rental. Collect the car when it is ready, or ask us to arrange the handover.
Pricing, plainly
Photos let us give a closer price before we see the car in person. Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work. The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes.
