Your 2012 Toyota Prius: the work
Your 2012 Toyota Prius needs scratch repair? Send the details, and we reply within one business day. 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.
Your Prius, up close
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. NHTSA lists 7 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
Your request
If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. Your quote is for your car, not a general price list. You can add a rental to the same request.
Need a car meanwhile?
Add a rental to the same request as the work. We bring the rental to you and collect it later. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
Why prices differ
Ask what is included, so you can compare quotes fairly. The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes. We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear.
Getting the car ready
Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Ask any question you have before the work starts. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one.
Aftercare
A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint. Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks.
Timing
Small repairs can take hours; paint and collision work can take days. Most small jobs fit within a day; larger ones are booked over several days.
Ready to ask?
A short request is all it takes to get a price for your car.
