The work on your Regal
Your 1981 Buick Regal 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
We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. As a mid-size car, it is a straightforward size for this work. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
What happens after you ask
You can add a rental to the same request. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. Your quote is for your car, not a general price list.
Keep your week on track
Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. Choose a car from our fleet for the days the work takes. Delivery starts at $75 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
What to bring
Ask any question you have before the work starts. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work.
When the car is ready
We confirm how long the car will be with us when we confirm the price. You can plan the rental for the same number of days as the work.
Pricing, plainly
The same job can take more time on a car with more trim or detail. We price the job before we start, never after. We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job.
Looking after it afterwards
Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior. A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint.
