Booking the work for the F-150
For paint work on the 2003 Ford F-150, 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.
The car itself
We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. A bigger body means more surface to work on, which shows in the time. NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
Booking a time
Your quote is for your car, not a general price list. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off.
Need a car meanwhile?
Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
Timing
You can plan the rental for the same number of days as the work. Waiting on parts is the most common reason a repair takes longer.
Aftercare
Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car. Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint.
Getting the car ready
Ask any question you have before the work starts. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive.
Why prices differ
If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price. Photos let us give a closer price before we see the car in person. The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer.
Talk to a person
Ready when you are: send the details of the car.

Tell us when suits you; we reply within one business day with a time and a price.
