Paint touch up for the 1996 Buick Riviera
The 1996 Buick Riviera needs scratch repair? Send photos and when it suits you. 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
A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
The request
Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time.
A car while yours is in
A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. We collect the rental when your car is ready. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
What affects the price
Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more. We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear. If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price.
Keeping it that way
Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels. Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks.
When the car is ready
Bigger jobs are booked in a few days ahead; small ones can often be fitted in sooner. You can plan the rental for the same number of days as the work.
On the day
Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day.
