Your Pickup and rust repair
Need rust repair for your 1986 GMC Pickup? Tell us about the car and when suits you. 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. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
Getting a quote
Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. Ask anything about the work in the request. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate.
Need a car meanwhile?
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. A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
Timing
We confirm how long the car will be with us when we confirm the price. If you need the car back by a date, say so and we plan for it.
Looking after it afterwards
Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car. Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks.
Getting the car ready
Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. 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.
Why prices differ
We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear. Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time. We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job.
