Your 1997 Toyota 4Runner: the work
Your 1997 Toyota 4Runner and paint work: what to send us, what it involves, and a car to drive meanwhile. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
The car itself
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. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
From request to appointment
You can add a rental to the same request. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work.
A rental meanwhile
Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. 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. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
How long you are without it
Coatings and paint need time to cure, which is part of the schedule. Weather and curing times can change the schedule for some work.
Before you drop the car off
Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim.
Looking after it afterwards
Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car. Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish.
Why prices differ
For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work. Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more. Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one.
Still deciding?
Start with photos and a short description.
