Booking the work for the Highlander
For your 2005 Toyota Highlander, paint work starts with a short request. 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. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. There are 6 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
What to send us
If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. A person reads your request and replies with the next step. You can add a rental to the same request.
A rental meanwhile
Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.
Pricing, plainly
The size of the car matters: an SUV or a van has more surface than a compact car. Photos let us give a closer price before we see the car in person. The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer.
Aftercare
Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish. Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels.
How long it takes
A clear timeline comes with every quote. Tell us the date you need the car back, and we say whether it is realistic.
Getting the car ready
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. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one.
Ready to ask?
A person reads your request and replies with a price and a time.
