Your car is in; you are not stuck

Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.

When the car is ready

We call or write when the car is ready, and you collect it or we arrange the handover. If you need the car back by a date, say so and we plan for it.

On the day

Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive.

After the work

A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint. Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior.

Pricing, plainly

The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer. Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match. Ask what is included, so you can compare quotes fairly.
