Your Prius and scratch repair
Your 2001 Toyota Prius and scratch repair: what to send us, what it involves, and a car to drive meanwhile. 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.
Size and finish
As a compact car, it is a straightforward size for this work. A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
Getting a quote
Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. We reply within one business day with a time and a price. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected.
Driving while yours is in
Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. We collect the rental when your car is ready. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
Timing
If the car must stay overnight, we tell you before it comes in. You can plan the rental for the same number of days as the work.
A few things first
Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. Ask any question you have before the work starts. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive.
What goes into a quote
If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price. The same job can take more time on a car with more trim or detail. Photos let us give a closer price before we see the car in person.
Aftercare
Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car. Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior.
Ready when you are
When you are ready, a short request books the work.
