Auto paint: your Escort
For the 1998 Ford Escort, paint work starts with a quote from a person, never a guess. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
About your Escort
We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. As a compact car, it is a straightforward size for this work. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
Your request
We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price.
Your car is in; you are not stuck
Rent the size of car you need for the days the work takes. A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
Why prices differ
Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work. Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match. If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part.
When the car is ready
We keep you posted if the timing changes. If the car must stay overnight, we tell you before it comes in.
Looking after it afterwards
New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax. Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish.
Getting the car ready
Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to.
Ready when you are
Start with photos and a short description.
