Your 2006 Cadillac STS: the work
For your 2006 Cadillac STS, scratch repair starts with a short request. 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.
Your STS, up close
As a mid-size car, it is a straightforward size for this work. Mention the trim and options, so we plan around sensors and trim pieces. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
From request to appointment
We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. A person reads your request and replies with the next step. Ask anything about the work in the request.
A car while yours is in
Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.
How long it takes
Weather and curing times can change the schedule for some work. Tell us the date you need the car back, and we say whether it is realistic.
Looking after it afterwards
Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks. New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax.
A few things first
Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. 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.
What goes into a quote
Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more. We price the job before we start, never after. We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job.

Send a request with a few photos, and we reply with a price.
