Your CL and scratch repair
Your 1997 Acura CL and scratch repair: what to send us, what it involves, and a car to drive meanwhile. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car. Light scratches can be polished out; deeper ones are filled and repainted.
Your CL, up close
Premium cars often have more trim and sensors to work around; mention any options in your request. A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
From request to appointment
We reply within one business day with a time and a price. Ask anything about the work in the request. Your quote is for your car, not a general price list.
A rental meanwhile
We bring the rental to you and collect it later. Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.
How long it takes
Coatings and paint need time to cure, which is part of the schedule. Tell us the date you need the car back, and we say whether it is realistic.
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. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one.
Pricing, plainly
A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation. Ask what is included, so you can compare quotes fairly. We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job.
Keeping it that way
If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us. Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car.
Want a price?
A quote costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
