The 1986 Buick Century: Paint touch up
Paint touch up for the 1986 Buick Century: send a request and a person replies with a price and a time. Light scratches can be polished out; deeper ones are filled and repainted. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
What your car means for the work
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
Booking the work
If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. 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.
Driving while yours is in
Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. While it is repaired, rent from us: an insurance replacement rental when the repair is a claim your adjuster approves, or at our usual rates. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
A few things first
Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim.
Pricing, plainly
We price the job before we start, never after. If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part. Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work.
Looking after it afterwards
Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car. Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car.
Timing
We keep you posted if the timing changes. Weather and curing times can change the schedule for some work.
