Your Skylark and scratch repair
This page covers scratch repair for the 1982 Buick Skylark, and a rental while the car is with us. 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.
About your Skylark
As a compact car, it is a straightforward size for this work. A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
What to send us
Ask anything about the work in the request. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. You can add a rental to the same request.
A car while yours is in
While it is repaired, rent from us: an insurance replacement rental when the repair is a claim your adjuster approves, or at our usual rates. Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
Getting the car ready
Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. 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.
Planning around the work
If the work runs longer than planned, we let you know and you can keep the rental. If the car must stay overnight, we tell you before it comes in.
Keeping it that way
Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish. Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car.
Pricing, plainly
Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more. Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match. If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price.
When you know your dates
Send photos and a few details, and a person replies with the next step.

Tell us when suits you; we reply within one business day with a time and a price.
