Rust repair: the 1986 Buick Electra
For the 1986 Buick Electra, rust repair starts with a quote from a person, never a guess. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
Your Electra, up close
We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
What to send us
We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. Ask anything about the work in the request.
Keep your week on track
Add a rental to the same request as the work. A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.
How the price is set
We price the job before we start, never after. We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear. For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work.
A few things first
Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together.
Looking after it afterwards
Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car. Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint.
Planning around the work
Book a little ahead for larger jobs; small ones can be quicker to schedule. If the car must stay overnight, we tell you before it comes in.
Ask us
Send a request with the car and the work, and we reply with a price and a time.
