Collision center: the 1986 Buick Electra

Your 1986 Buick Electra needs collision repair? Send the details, and we reply within one business day. Collision repair covers panels, bumpers, paint and, when needed, frame and structural work. Repairs can go through an insurance claim or be paid directly; tell us which in your request.

About your Electra

We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.

How to request it

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.

Stay on the road

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. Choose a car from our fleet for the days the work takes. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.

How the price is set

The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes. Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more. For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work.

Planning around the work

Small repairs can take hours; paint and collision work can take days. We keep you posted if the timing changes.

Getting the car ready

Ask any question you have before the work starts. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work.

After the work

Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car. Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels.

Your move

Send a request with a few photos, and we reply with a price.
