Rust repair: the 2000 Saturn SL
This page covers rust repair for the 2000 Saturn SL, and a rental while the car is with us. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
About your SL
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. NHTSA lists 7 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
Getting a quote
You can add a rental to the same request. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time.
Keep your week on track
Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. 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. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
When the car is ready
Most small jobs fit within a day; larger ones are booked over several days. We give you a time with the quote, so you can plan a rental for the right number of days.
After the work
Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks. Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car.
How the price is set
Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do. We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job. We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear.
On the day
Ask any question you have before the work starts. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule.
When you know your dates
Send a request with a few photos, and we reply with a price.
