Your Regal and rust repair
Rust repair for the 2003 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.
Your Regal, up close
We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
Booking a time
Ask anything about the work in the request. A person reads your request and replies with the next step. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate.
Stay on the road
Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
Looking after it afterwards
Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels. Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior.
Why prices differ
A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation. Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more. The size of the car matters: an SUV or a van has more surface than a compact car.
A few things first
Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together.
Timing
A clear timeline comes with every quote. If you need the car back by a date, say so and we plan for it.
Ready when you are
