Paint touch up for the 1996 Pontiac Sunfire
Paint touch up for the 1996 Pontiac Sunfire: send a request and a person replies with a price and a time. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car. Light scratches can be polished out; deeper ones are filled and repainted.
What your car means for the work
A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
Getting a quote
You can add a rental to the same request. A person reads your request and replies with the next step. Ask anything about the work in the request.
A rental while we work
While it is repaired, rent from us: an insurance replacement rental when the repair is a claim your adjuster approves, or at our usual rates. Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
Getting the car ready
If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Ask any question you have before the work starts. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim.
Pricing, plainly
Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do. The same job can take more time on a car with more trim or detail. The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes.
Aftercare
Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks. A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint.
Timing
If the car must stay overnight, we tell you before it comes in. We confirm how long the car will be with us when we confirm the price.
Questions first?
Tell us about the car and the work, and we take it from there.
