The work on your Regal

Book rust repair for the 1982 Buick Regal with a short request, and rent a car while yours is in. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.

Your Regal, up close

A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.

What to send us

We reply within one business day with a time and a price. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate.

Keep driving meanwhile

A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. We collect the rental when your car is ready. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.

Timing

We keep you posted if the timing changes. We give you a time with the quote, so you can plan a rental for the right number of days.

Looking after it afterwards

If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us. Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint.

What affects the price

The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes. Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more. Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match.

A few things first

Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Ask any question you have before the work starts.

One more step

A person reads every request and replies with the next step.
