Your Suburban and scratch repair
For scratch repair on the 1996 GMC Suburban, it starts with a short request: what it needs and when. 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 van, it has more paint, glass and interior than a small car, so the work takes longer. A bigger body means more surface to work on, which shows in the time. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
Booking the work
Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. A person reads your request and replies with the next step.
Keep your week on track
Choose a car from our fleet for the days the work takes. Add a rental to the same request as the work. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
How long it takes
Parts on order can add days to a repair; we tell you when that happens. Most small jobs fit within a day; larger ones are booked over several days.
Before you drop the car off
Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day.
Aftercare
A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint. New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax.
What goes into a quote
If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price. The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer. We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job.
When you know your dates
Tell us about the car and the work, and we take it from there.
