Booking the work for the Escort
Auto paint for your 1997 Ford Escort? Start with a request; a person replies with a price and a time. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
Your Escort, up close
A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. There are 1 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
Getting a price
Your quote is for your car, not a general price list. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more.
A car while yours is in
Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. Rent the size of car you need for the days the work takes. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
What goes into a quote
Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time. If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part. If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price.
On the day
Ask any question you have before the work starts. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive.
Aftercare
A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint. Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks.
Planning around the work
Waiting on parts is the most common reason a repair takes longer. If the work runs longer than planned, we let you know and you can keep the rental.
