Auto Body Painting and Refinishing in Dorval

Deep scratches and repaired panels may need refinishing. At our Dorval workshop, 24K Auto Québec Inc. provides paintwork associated with body repairs. Assessment establishes the area involved, preparation and expected finish for your vehicle.

Polishing and repainting address different damage

Polishing can improve some superficial clear-coat defects. It cannot replace missing paint or repair a distorted panel. Cracks, chips and reshaped bodywork can require a different approach. Read our paint-correction guide for the distinction.

Agree on the scope before work begins

The proposal should identify the component, body damage to address, preparation and planned finish. Ask whether neighbouring panels are included and why. A localized finish repair and more extensive refinishing are different scopes of work.

Why can a bumper colour appear different?

Lighting, viewing angle and the finish on nearby panels affect the comparison. A photograph taken at another time of day cannot settle whether colours match. The paint code is a starting point, not a guarantee of identical appearance under every condition.

Does the neighbouring panel always need repainting?

No. The refinishing area must be assessed for the vehicle. Ask which panels are included and what appearance differences are being discussed. A total price alone does not establish whether colour blending is included.

What affects cost and timing

The area involved, substrate condition, prior body repairs and finish scope determine the work. Ask for washing and care instructions at handover. No universal drying time or invisible finish under every light is promised.

Looking for auto body painting near Montréal? Our Montréal-area auto body shop guide explains how we assess collision and body damage and how to request an estimate. All vehicles are received at our single Dorval workshop; we do not operate a separate downtown Montréal location.

For a new paint or refinishing assessment, book an in-person estimate online, note the vehicle year, make, model and any deadline, and bring the vehicle to our workshop at 781 Avenue Halpern, Dorval, Québec H9P 1G5. We do not quote repair prices by telephone, message, email or photos; telephone support remains available for ongoing repairs, insurers and fleets.

We provide a free initial verbal estimate of visible bodywork damage when you bring your vehicle to our Dorval shop. A written repair estimate is provided when Québec law requires one before covered work begins. If a fee applies to a separately charged written estimate or in-depth inspection, we tell you the exact amount before preparing the estimate or performing the inspection. If a separate detailed inspection or technical assessment is required, any fees and conditions are explained before you agree. An in-person evaluation helps identify visible damage; further inspection may reveal concealed damage and change the proposed scope. Confirm the cost and schedule before authorizing the work.
