Your Lanos and scratch repair
Here is how we handle scratch repair for the 1998 Daewoo Lanos: the request, the work and a car to drive meanwhile. Light scratches can be polished out; deeper ones are filled and repainted.
What your car means for the work
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
Getting a quote
Ask anything about the work in the request. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate.
Need a car meanwhile?
A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. We collect the rental when your car is ready. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.
What goes into a quote
We price the job before we start, never after. Photos let us give a closer price before we see the car in person. Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work.
Aftercare
Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint. Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car.
How long you are without it
We call or write when the car is ready, and you collect it or we arrange the handover. Most small jobs fit within a day; larger ones are booked over several days.
Getting the car ready
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. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together.
