Your 1998 Buick Regal: the work
Need scratch repair for your 1998 Buick Regal? Tell us about the car and when suits you. 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.
Your Regal, up close
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. There are 6 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
Booking the work
We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. We reply within one business day with a time and a price.
A car while yours is in
Rent the size of car you need for the days the work takes. We bring the rental to you and collect it later. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
What affects the price
A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation. Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match. Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do.
When the car is ready
Weather and curing times can change the schedule for some work. We call or write when the car is ready, and you collect it or we arrange the handover.
After the work
Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish. 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. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to.
