Booking the work for the Sonata
Your 2012 Hyundai Sonata and scratch repair: what to send us, what it involves, and a car to drive meanwhile. 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 large sedan, it is a straightforward size for this work. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. NHTSA lists 11 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
How to request it
If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. Ask anything about the work in the request.
A rental while we work
Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. We collect the rental when your car is ready. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
Looking after it afterwards
New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax. Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks.
Pricing, plainly
For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work. Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one. The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer.
Getting the car ready
Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim.
Planning around the work
Most small jobs fit within a day; larger ones are booked over several days. Weather and curing times can change the schedule for some work.
