Your 1996 Buick Skylark: the work
Book scratch repair for the 1996 Buick Skylark, with a rental meanwhile if you need one. 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
As a compact car, it is a straightforward size for this work. We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. There are 4 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. A person reads your request and replies with the next step. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected.
Need a car meanwhile?
Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. Rent the size of car you need for the days the work takes. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
Getting the car ready
Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim.
After the work
Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car. Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car.
What affects the price
The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer. Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one. Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work.
Planning around the work
Pick-up time is confirmed when the work is finished. Waiting on parts is the most common reason a repair takes longer.
One more step
Book the work with a short request, and add a rental if you need one.
