Your 1985 Volvo 240: the work
The 1985 Volvo 240 needs paint work? Send photos and when it suits you. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
Your 240, up close
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
Your request
Your quote is for your car, not a general price list. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more.
Stay on the road
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. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
A few things first
Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim.
How long you are without it
We give you a time with the quote, so you can plan a rental for the right number of days. Parts on order can add days to a repair; we tell you when that happens.
What goes into a quote
We price the job before we start, never after. Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match. For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work.
Aftercare
Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car. Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels.
