The 2012 GMC Sierra: Rust repair
Your 2012 GMC Sierra needs rust repair? Send the details, and we reply within one business day. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
What your car means for the work
A bigger body means more surface to work on, which shows in the time. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
How to request it
Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. We reply within one business day with a time and a price. You can add a rental to the same request.
Need a car meanwhile?
Rent the size of car you need for the days the work takes. A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Pricing, plainly
Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time. The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer. We price the job before we start, never after.
Looking after it afterwards
A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint. Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels.
On the day
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. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim.
Planning around the work
Pick-up time is confirmed when the work is finished. Most small jobs fit within a day; larger ones are booked over several days.
Ready to ask?
Send photos and a few details, and a person replies with the next step.
