Auto paint: your Sidekick
This page covers paint work for the 1997 Suzuki Sidekick, 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 Sidekick, up close
If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
What to send us
We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. A person reads your request and replies with the next step. We reply within one business day with a time and a price.
Stay on the road
We bring the rental to you and collect it later. Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
When the car is ready
Collect the car when it is ready, or ask us to arrange the handover. Coatings and paint need time to cure, which is part of the schedule.
After the work
Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car. Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car.
Before you drop the car off
Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day.
Why prices differ
If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price. Photos let us give a closer price before we see the car in person. Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do.
