Collision centre for the 1981 Buick Regal

The 1981 Buick Regal needs collision repair? Send photos and when it suits you. 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 Regal, up close

We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. As a mid-size car, it is a straightforward size for this work. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.

From request to appointment

Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. We reply within one business day with a time and a price.

Driving while yours is in

Choose a car from our fleet for the days the work takes. Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.

Planning around the work

Pick-up time is confirmed when the work is finished. You can plan the rental for the same number of days as the work.

Before you drop the car off

Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day.

What affects the price

Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do. If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price. If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part.

Looking after it afterwards

Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car. Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels.
