Your 2002 Buick Regal: the work
Rust repair for the 2002 Buick Regal: send a request and a person replies with a price and a time. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
Size and finish
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. 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. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected.
A car while yours is in
Choose a car from our fleet for the days the work takes. Rent the size of car you need for the days the work takes. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
When the car is ready
We give you a time with the quote, so you can plan a rental for the right number of days. Weather and curing times can change the schedule for some work.
A few things first
Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule.
How the price is set
The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer. Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match. A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation.
After the work
If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us. Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels.
Next step
A person reads your request and replies with a price and a time.
