Your Beetle and scratch repair
Book scratch repair for the 2012 Volkswagen Beetle, with a rental meanwhile if you need one. 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.
About your Beetle
As a small car, it is a straightforward size for this work. A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
From request to appointment
Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time.
Driving while yours is in
Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
A few things first
Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to.
How the price is set
If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part. The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer. A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly.
Aftercare
Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint. New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax.
Planning around the work
Pick-up time is confirmed when the work is finished. Weather and curing times can change the schedule for some work.
One more step
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.
