Paint touch up for the 1997 Toyota Tercel
Your 1997 Toyota Tercel 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.
Size and finish
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
The request
Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected.
A rental meanwhile
A rental means the work does not stop your week. Choose a car from our fleet for the days the work takes. We hand every car over in person, at your address or at our location.
Planning around the work
We give you a time with the quote, so you can plan a rental for the right number of days. Most small jobs fit within a day; larger ones are booked over several days.
Looking after it afterwards
A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint. Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish.
How the price is set
If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part. We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job. The size of the car matters: an SUV or a van has more surface than a compact car.
Getting the car ready
Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim.
Get an offer
Tell us about the car and the work, and we take it from there.
Request paint touch up
Tell us when suits you; we reply within one business day with a time and a price.
