Rust repair: your Encore
Need rust repair for your 2013 Buick Encore? Tell us about the car and when suits you. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
Size and finish
We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. As a compact SUV, it has more paint, glass and interior than a small car, so the work takes longer. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
From request to appointment
We reply within one business day with a time and a price. A person reads your request and replies with the next step. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off.
Driving while yours is in
Choose a car from our fleet for the days the work takes. While it is repaired, rent from us: an insurance replacement rental when the repair is a claim your adjuster approves, or at our usual rates. Delivery starts at $75 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
Timing
Collect the car when it is ready, or ask us to arrange the handover. Pick-up time is confirmed when the work is finished.
After the work
Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels. Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car.
Getting the car ready
Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule.
Pricing, plainly
Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time. If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price. We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear.
Still deciding?
Ready when you are: send the details of the car.
