Booking the work for the Citation
Your 1981 Chevrolet Citation needs scratch repair? Send the details, and we reply within one business day. 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 Citation
We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
What happens after you ask
Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. You can add a rental to the same request. Ask anything about the work in the request.
Need a car meanwhile?
A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
Pricing, plainly
The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer. For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work. Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work.
Planning around the work
Parts on order can add days to a repair; we tell you when that happens. Bigger jobs are booked in a few days ahead; small ones can often be fitted in sooner.
What to bring
Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to.
Keeping it that way
Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior. Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car.
Want a price?
Send photos and a few details, and a person replies with the next step.
