Your Prius and paint work
Your 2012 Toyota Prius 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.
Your Prius, up close
We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. NHTSA lists 7 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
From request to appointment
A person reads your request and replies with the next step. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. We reply within one business day with a time and a price.
Driving while yours is in
Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
On the day
Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim.
Pricing, plainly
The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes. We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear. If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price.
How long it takes
You can plan the rental for the same number of days as the work. Weather and curing times can change the schedule for some work.
After the work
Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior. A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint.
Want a price?
Send a request with a few photos, and we reply with a price.
