The work on your Escape
For paint work on the 2003 Ford Escape, it starts with a short request: what it needs and when. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
About your Escape
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
What happens after you ask
We reply within one business day with a time and a price. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. You can add a rental to the same request.
A rental while we work
Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. A rental means the work does not stop your week. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
How long you are without it
We call or write when the car is ready, and you collect it or we arrange the handover. If the work runs longer than planned, we let you know and you can keep the rental.
What goes into a quote
The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes. A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation. We price the job before we start, never after.
Before you drop the car off
If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together.
Aftercare
Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior. New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax.
When you know your dates
Ask for a quote today; it is free.
