Your 1997 Ford Expedition: the work
Here is how we handle paint work for the 1997 Ford Expedition: the request, the work and a car to drive meanwhile. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
The car itself
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. There are 7 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
Booking a time
Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. You can add a rental to the same request. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price.
Need a car meanwhile?
We collect the rental when your car is ready. Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Planning around the work
Book a little ahead for larger jobs; small ones can be quicker to schedule. Waiting on parts is the most common reason a repair takes longer.
What to bring
Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive.
Pricing, plainly
If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part. We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear. Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more.
Keeping it that way
If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us. Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car.
Questions first?
Send a request with a few photos, and we reply with a price.
