The work on your Encore
For collision repair on the 2013 Buick Encore, it starts with a short request: what it needs and when. Repairs can go through an insurance claim or be paid directly; tell us which in your request. Collision repair covers panels, bumpers, paint and, when needed, frame and structural work.
The car itself
If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
Booking the work
Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off.
A rental meanwhile
We bring the rental to you and collect it later. Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
What affects the price
The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes. We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear. We price the job before we start, never after.
Looking after it afterwards
Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car. New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax.
What to bring
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. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim.
Planning around the work
A clear timeline comes with every quote. Coatings and paint need time to cure, which is part of the schedule.

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