Paint touch up for the 1997 Volvo 850
CarmaCars takes requests for scratch repair on the 1997 Volvo 850, and rents you a car while yours is in. 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.
The car itself
A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. Mention the trim and options, so we plan around sensors and trim pieces. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
How to request it
Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. A person reads your request and replies with the next step. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work.
Stay on the road
Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. Delivery to your door is available across the Toronto area.
After the work
Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish. New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax.
What goes into a quote
Photos let us give a closer price before we see the car in person. If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price. If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part.
When the car is ready
We give you a time with the quote, so you can plan a rental for the right number of days. Parts on order can add days to a repair; we tell you when that happens.
Getting the car ready
Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. 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.
Over to you
Tell us what the car needs and when it is free.
