Your Skylark and scratch repair
CarmaCars takes requests for scratch repair on the 1989 Buick Skylark, and rents you a car while yours is in. 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.
The car itself
As a compact car, it is a straightforward size for this work. We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
What to send us
You can add a rental to the same request. Your quote is for your car, not a general price list. Ask anything about the work in the request.
Your car is in; you are not stuck
Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. We bring the rental to you and collect it later. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
What goes into a quote
A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation. If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price. Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match.
On the day
If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work.
Planning around the work
Bigger jobs are booked in a few days ahead; small ones can often be fitted in sooner. Coatings and paint need time to cure, which is part of the schedule.
Aftercare
Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car. Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car.
Talk to a person
A person reads every request and replies with the next step.
