Your Rainier and rust repair
Your 2005 Buick Rainier and rust repair: what to send us, what it involves, and a car to drive meanwhile. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
The car itself
A bigger body means more surface to work on, which shows in the time. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
What to send us
Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first 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
A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. We bring the rental to you and collect it later. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
How long you are without it
Weather and curing times can change the schedule for some work. Collect the car when it is ready, or ask us to arrange the handover.
On the day
Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim.
What goes into a quote
A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly. A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation. Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do.
Keeping it that way
Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish. Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car.
One more step
Book the work and a rental in one request.
