Auto paint: your Taurus
CarmaCars takes requests for paint work on the 1988 Ford Taurus, and rents you a car while yours is in. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
The car itself
If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. As a wagon, it is a straightforward size for this work. There are 5 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
Booking a time
Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. Ask anything about the work in the request.
Need a car meanwhile?
Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
Aftercare
Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels. Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish.
What to bring
Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day.
What goes into a quote
The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes. If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part. We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job.
Planning around the work
Tell us the date you need the car back, and we say whether it is realistic. We keep you posted if the timing changes.
When you know your dates
Tell us about the car and the work, and we take it from there.
