The work on your Lancer
Paint touch up for the 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer: 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.
About your Lancer
A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
What to send us
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. Ask anything about the work in the request.
Your car is in; you are not stuck
We bring the rental to you and collect it later. A rental means the work does not stop your week. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
Keeping it that way
Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior. Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks.
How long you are without it
Bigger jobs are booked in a few days ahead; small ones can often be fitted in sooner. Tell us the date you need the car back, and we say whether it is realistic.
A few things first
Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim.
What affects the price
We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear. Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one. Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do.
