The work on your Jetta
Paint touch up for your 2012 Volkswagen Jetta? Start with a request; a person replies with a price and a time. 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 Jetta, up close
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. There are 6 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
Getting a quote
If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. You can add a rental to the same request. Ask anything about the work in the request.
Driving while yours is in
Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. We collect the rental when your car is ready. We hand every car over in person, at your address or at our location.
After the work
New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax. Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels.
Why prices differ
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. Photos let us give a closer price before we see the car in person.
How long you are without it
Coatings and paint need time to cure, which is part of the schedule. Tell us the date you need the car back, and we say whether it is realistic.
Before you drop the car off
Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to.
Send a request
Ready when you are: send the details of the car.
