Getting a quote
Your quote is for your car, not a general price list. A person reads your request and replies with the next step. You can add a rental to the same request.
A rental while we work
Rent the size of car you need for the days the work takes. Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
What to bring
Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work.
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.
How long you are without it
Collect the car when it is ready, or ask us to arrange the handover. Most small jobs fit within a day; larger ones are booked over several days.
What goes into a quote
The size of the car matters: an SUV or a van has more surface than a compact car. We price the job before we start, never after. The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer.
