Booking the work for the Chevette

Paint touch up for the 1981 Chevrolet Chevette: send a request and a person replies with a price and a time. 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.

Size and finish

We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. As a small car, it is a straightforward size for this work. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.

What happens after you ask

Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work.

Your car is in; you are not stuck

A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. We collect the rental when your car is ready. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.

Before you drop the car off

Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together.

Aftercare

Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car. Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish.

What affects the price

We price the job before we start, never after. If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price. We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear.

How long it takes

Tell us the date you need the car back, and we say whether it is realistic. Bigger jobs are booked in a few days ahead; small ones can often be fitted in sooner.

Questions first?

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