Collision centre: the 1986 Buick Electra
Your 1986 Buick Electra and collision repair: what to send us, what it involves, and a car to drive meanwhile. 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.
Your Electra, up close
We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
Booking the work
Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. You can add a rental to the same request. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate.
Need a car meanwhile?
A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
When the car is ready
Weather and curing times can change the schedule for some work. Waiting on parts is the most common reason a repair takes longer.
What to bring
Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim.
Pricing, plainly
Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one. Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match. If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price.
Keeping it that way
Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish. A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint.
When you know your dates
Start with photos and a short description.
