Rust repair: the 1986 GMC C7

For the 1986 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.

The car itself

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

Getting a price

We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. A person reads your request and replies with the next step. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price.

Stay on the road

Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. We bring the rental to you and collect it later. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.

When the car is ready

Collect the car when it is ready, or ask us to arrange the handover. Parts on order can add days to a repair; we tell you when that happens.

Pricing, plainly

If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price. The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer. A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly.

After the work

A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint. Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks.

Getting the car ready

Ask any question you have before the work starts. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together.
