Booking the work for the 240
For scratch repair on the 1986 Volvo 240, it starts with a short request: what it needs and when. 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.
What your car means for the work
If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. As a compact car, it is a straightforward size for this work. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
Booking the work
Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. You can add a rental to the same request. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off.
Driving while yours is in
Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. We collect the rental when your car is ready. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.
What to bring
Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule.
Pricing, plainly
Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match. We price the job before we start, never after. A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly.
Aftercare
Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks. Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car.
When the car is ready
Parts on order can add days to a repair; we tell you when that happens. Bigger jobs are booked in a few days ahead; small ones can often be fitted in sooner.
