Your Regal and rust repair
For the 2012 Buick Regal, rust repair starts with a quote from a person, never a guess. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
The car itself
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. NHTSA lists 6 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
Your request
Ask anything about the work in the request. You can add a rental to the same request. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time.
Keep your week on track
While it is repaired, rent from us: an insurance replacement rental when the repair is a claim your adjuster approves, or at our usual rates. Add a rental to the same request as the work. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
Pricing, plainly
Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more. Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work. We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job.
On the day
Ask any question you have before the work starts. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim.
Timing
We confirm how long the car will be with us when we confirm the price. Bigger jobs are booked in a few days ahead; small ones can often be fitted in sooner.
Aftercare
Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint. Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car.
Ask us
Send photos and a few details, and a person replies with the next step.

Tell us when suits you; we reply within one business day with a time and a price.
