Booking the work for the Lancer
Searching for paint touch up for the 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer? Here is how CarmaCars handles it. 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
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
From request to appointment
Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more.
A rental while we work
A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.
How the price is set
Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one. Ask what is included, so you can compare quotes fairly. We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear.
What to bring
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. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work.
Looking after it afterwards
Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car. If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us.
How long it takes
If the work runs longer than planned, we let you know and you can keep the rental. Book a little ahead for larger jobs; small ones can be quicker to schedule.

A person reads every request and replies with the next step.
