Booking the work for the Model Y
CarmaCars takes requests for paint work on the 2026 Tesla Model Y, and rents you a car while yours is in. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
Your Model Y, up close
Mention the trim and options, so we plan around sensors and trim pieces. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
Booking the work
Your quote is for your car, not a general price list. Ask anything about the work in the request. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more.
A car while yours is in
Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. We bring the rental to you and collect it later. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
Before you drop the car off
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. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together.
What goes into a quote
If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part. Photos let us give a closer price before we see the car in person. Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match.
Keeping it that way
Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car. Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car.
Planning around the work
Small repairs can take hours; paint and collision work can take days. If you need the car back by a date, say so and we plan for it.
Ask us
Send photos and a few details, and a person replies with the next step.
Request auto paint
Tell us when suits you; we reply within one business day with a time and a price.
