Paint touch up for the 1981 Buick Skylark
Here is how we handle scratch repair for the 1981 Buick Skylark: the request, the work and a car to drive meanwhile. 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.
The car itself
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
How to request it
Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. Ask anything about the work in the request.
Need a car meanwhile?
We collect the rental when your car is ready. Add a rental to the same request as the work. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.
Timing
If the work runs longer than planned, we let you know and you can keep the rental. Small repairs can take hours; paint and collision work can take days.
Aftercare
Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car. A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint.
What affects the price
A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation. 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.
Before you drop the car off
Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule.

Tell us about the car and the work, and we take it from there.
