The work on your LTD
For your 1981 Ford LTD, paint work starts with a short request. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
About your LTD
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. As a mid-size car, it is a straightforward size for this work. There are 4 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
Getting a price
Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. We reply within one business day with a time and a price. You can add a rental to the same request.
Stay on the road
A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
Keeping it that way
Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car. A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint.
Timing
You can plan the rental for the same number of days as the work. If the work runs longer than planned, we let you know and you can keep the rental.
Before you drop the car off
Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work.
What affects the price
The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer. We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear. If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price.
