The 1986 GMC Pickup: Auto repair
For the 1986 GMC Pickup, body repair starts with a quote from a person, never a guess. This is body repair. Mechanical work such as engines, brakes and oil changes is not part of it.
About your Pickup
If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. As a pickup truck, it has more paint, glass and interior than a small car, so the work takes longer. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
The request
Ask anything about the work in the request. 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.
A car while yours is in
Add a rental to the same request as the work. A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.
What goes into a quote
A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation. 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.
Aftercare
Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car. Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint.
Getting the car ready
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. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work.
How long it takes
You can plan the rental for the same number of days as the work. Book a little ahead for larger jobs; small ones can be quicker to schedule.
Ready when you are
Book the work and a rental in one request.
