Paint touch up: the 1988 Buick Regal
Your 1988 Buick Regal and scratch repair: what to send us, what it involves, and a car to drive meanwhile. 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
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
Your request
Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. A person reads your request and replies with the next step. Your quote is for your car, not a general price list.
Stay on the road
We collect the rental when your car is ready. Add a rental to the same request as the work. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
Aftercare
Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish. Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior.
Pricing, plainly
For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work. Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time. The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer.
Getting the car ready
Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim.
How long you are without it
Book a little ahead for larger jobs; small ones can be quicker to schedule. If the car must stay overnight, we tell you before it comes in.
