Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
Getting a price
Your quote is for your car, not a general price list. Ask anything about the work in the request. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time.
A car while yours is in
A rental means the work does not stop your week. Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. Delivery starts at $75 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
Getting the car ready
Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day.
Looking after it afterwards
Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels. Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish.
How long you are without it
Bigger jobs are booked in a few days ahead; small ones can often be fitted in sooner. Small repairs can take hours; paint and collision work can take days.
Why prices differ
The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes. Photos let us give a closer price before we see the car in person. We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear.

Tell us about the car and the work, and we take it from there.
