    “European Auto Care Body Shop repaired 3 areas of rust on my 2012 GLK350. It looks great, the colour match is perfect, the job was completed within the estimated time and the price was very good. When new rust appears on my aging SUV I will go back to this company for the repair. Highly recommend. Very professional.”

    “Was looking for a great independent body shop for my insurance repair after seeing many horror stories about insurance preferred shops across the internet. Sung and his team did a phenomenal job fixing my 3 series! Car and paint looks brand new and exactly what it looked like before my accident. I also got an aftermarket part painted by his team and he didn’t charge me for it – saved me a lot of money on that as well. Will definitely be recommending his shop to friends and family.”

    “I recently went there for a quote for a body repair. They were the only ones to sit down and formally give me a quote in 20 minutes. All the other places took a quick look and said they would get back to me and they never followed up. I would go back to European auto care if I have any body repair.”

    “I cannot say enough good things about the quality of their workmanship and their more than reasonable pricing for what in craftsman level quality. I have dealt with this company for a number of years, starting with Merle, who has now passed away, but Mike, his top man there has continued to provide the same level of quality workmanship and at reasonable prices. My 1999 Audi Station Wagon, just back from them, now looks like a new vehicle. I have more antique sports cars to have them work on and have no hesitation in recommending them to others.”

    “Colour match was phenomenal. Matched the factory colour on the rest of the car even with the fade from over the years. Impossible to tell where the dents were or that any work was ever done. Great friendly service too. Thanks Sung.”

FAQs About Car Painting
in Ottawa

decor 10
  • Can I choose a custom colour for my car?

    Yes, you can select from a wide range of custom paint colours, including matte, metallic, pearlescent, and colour-shifting finishes. We also offer factory colour matching and can help you design a custom look that suits your style.

  • Do you offer environmentally friendly paint options?

    Yes. We use low-VOC, waterborne automotive paints that meet environmental standards and reduce harmful emissions. They’re safe, durable, and better for the planet.

  • How long does a full vehicle repaint take?

    A full vehicle repaint usually takes 3 to 5 business days, depending on the size of the vehicle, condition of the current paint, and the complexity of the job. We’ll provide a detailed timeline after assessing your car.

  • Will my insurance cover the cost of a paint job?

    Insurance may cover painting if it’s part of a collision repair or vandalism claim. We work directly with most insurance companies and can help confirm your coverage.

  • What’s the difference between a touch-up and a full repaint?

    A touch-up repairs small chips or scratches in localized areas and blends with the existing paint. A full repaint involves refinishing the entire vehicle — often used for complete colour changes or restoring severely damaged finishes.

  • Can you match the original factory colour?

    Yes. We use computerized colour-matching technology to ensure a seamless match to your car’s original factory paint, regardless of make or model.

  • Will a custom paint job affect my vehicle’s resale value?

    A professionally done custom paint job can enhance resale value, especially if it improves appearance or corrects fading, rust, or damage. However, extreme colours may affect buyer appeal — we’re happy to help you choose a balanced option.

  • How long will the new paint last?

    With proper care, a professional paint job can last 5 to 10 years or longer. We use high-quality, durable automotive paint and offer aftercare tips to protect your finish.

  • Can you repair rust before painting?

    Yes. If rust is present, we’ll remove it and properly prep the surface before painting. This ensures long-lasting results and prevents further corrosion.
