Booking the work for the C7
For the 1983 GMC C7, rust repair starts with a quote from a person, never a guess. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
Size and finish
We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
How to request it
Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price.
A rental meanwhile
Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. Add a rental to the same request as the work. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
When the car is ready
Bigger jobs are booked in a few days ahead; small ones can often be fitted in sooner. We confirm how long the car will be with us when we confirm the price.
What to bring
Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive.
Aftercare
Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car. Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car.
Pricing, plainly
For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work. Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match. The size of the car matters: an SUV or a van has more surface than a compact car.
