Longest Paint Warranty in Cyprus -- 6 Years, In Writing | Pinelaki

Pinelaki gives a written 6-year paint warranty on every job -- the longest offered by any car body shop in Cyprus. The Cyprus market norm is 1-3 years, and many shops offer no written warranty at all. Our 6-year guarantee is transferable to the next owner and covers peeling, lifting, fading, and adhesion failures on work we performed.

What paint warranty does Pinelaki offer?

Every paint job -- single-panel, multi-panel, full respray, or collision repair -- is backed by a written 6-year warranty starting the day you collect the car. The warranty is transferable: if you sell the vehicle within the 6-year window, the new owner inherits the remaining cover. We keep digital records of every job since 1991, so claims do not depend on you producing paperwork.

How does Pinelaki's warranty compare to other Cyprus body shops?

The Cyprus body-shop market sits in a 1-3 year warranty range, and a meaningful share of shops offer no written warranty at all -- only verbal assurances. Pinelaki's 6 years in writing is the longest in the local market by a clear margin. Why it matters: paint failures (peeling, lifting, clear-coat clouding) typically surface in years 2-5, not year one. A 1-year warranty conveniently expires before most defects become visible. A 6-year warranty covers the actual risk window -- see the full breakdown in our guide on why a 6-year vs 3-year paint warranty changes the maths.

What does the 6-year warranty cover?

The warranty covers defects in the paint and the work we performed:

Peeling of basecoat or clear coat from the panel
Lifting of paint layers from the substrate
Fading beyond normal weathering (paints UV-rated for the Cyprus sun)
Adhesion failures -- bubbling, blistering, or delamination
Clear-coat defects -- orange peel, clouding, or premature breakdown
Colour mismatch on panels we painted

Cover applies to panels Pinelaki painted. Transferable to the next owner with no transfer fee and no paperwork.

What does the warranty NOT cover?

Honest framing first -- the warranty is for paint defects, not damage after the car leaves the workshop. It does not cover:

Accidental damage after the repair -- new collisions, stone chips, parking dings, vandalism
Normal wear from age and daily use
Environmental damage from off-road conditions, industrial fallout, prolonged bird droppings, or harsh chemicals
Damage from automatic car washes with abrasive brushes
Modifications, repaints, or repairs done by another shop on top of our work
Pre-existing factory paint on panels we did not work on

Clear boundaries you can rely on, not a vague promise that quietly excludes everything.

Why does Pinelaki offer the longest paint warranty in Cyprus?

A 6-year warranty is only sustainable when defects are rare -- and defects are rare only when materials, technicians, and process are all dialled in:

Materials -- professional-grade primers, basecoats, and clear coats built for Mediterranean climate -- UV-stable, humidity-tolerant.
Technicians -- 35+ years hands-on experience since 1991, 1,500+ vehicles restored. Every paint job hand-finished by craftsmen who have seen every failure mode.
Process -- computerized colour-matching with spectrophotometer, professional downdraft spray booth, full bake / cure cycles. No open-air painting, no skipped prep.

Our 70+ five-star Google reviews are the day-to-day proof.

FAQ

Is the 6-year warranty transferable to the next owner?

Yes. The warranty is tied to the vehicle, not the owner. The new owner inherits the remaining months automatically -- no transfer fee, no paperwork.

Do I need to bring an invoice to claim?

No. We keep digital records of every job since 1991. Tell us your name or licence plate and we look up the repair history immediately.

What if I notice a paint problem after the 6 years?

The formal warranty ends at 72 months, but we still stand behind our work. Bring the car in -- we will assess the situation and offer a fair path forward.
