What happens after you ask
Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. We reply within one business day with a time and a price.
A car while yours is in
Add a rental to the same request as the work. We bring the rental to you and collect it later. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
Keeping it that way
Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks. Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car.
Before you drop the car off
Ask any question you have before the work starts. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim.
How long it takes
Most small jobs fit within a day; larger ones are booked over several days. If the car must stay overnight, we tell you before it comes in.
What affects the price
Ask what is included, so you can compare quotes fairly. Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one. Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time.
