Your 2013 Buick Encore: the work
Book scratch repair for the 2013 Buick Encore, with a rental meanwhile if you need one. 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.
Size and finish
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
From request to appointment
If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. You can add a rental to the same request.
A car while yours is in
Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. A rental means the work does not stop your week. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
When the car is ready
Waiting on parts is the most common reason a repair takes longer. Most small jobs fit within a day; larger ones are booked over several days.
Looking after it afterwards
Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car. Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks.
Getting the car ready
Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. Ask any question you have before the work starts.
How the price is set
Ask what is included, so you can compare quotes fairly. Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work. Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time.
One more step
A person reads your request and replies with a price and a time.
