How long it takes
You can plan the rental for the same number of days as the work. Pick-up time is confirmed when the work is finished.
Before you drop the car off
If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Ask any question you have before the work starts. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one.
What goes into a quote
For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work. A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly. The same job can take more time on a car with more trim or detail.
Looking after it afterwards
New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax. Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels.
