The work on your Taurus
Auto paint for your 1997 Ford Taurus? Start with a request; a person replies with a price and a time. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
What your car means for the work
We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
Booking the work
Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. Your quote is for your car, not a general price list. You can add a rental to the same request.
Keep your week on track
We collect the rental when your car is ready. Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
Before you drop the car off
If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together.
How long it takes
Weather and curing times can change the schedule for some work. Most small jobs fit within a day; larger ones are booked over several days.
What goes into a quote
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. The same job can take more time on a car with more trim or detail.
Keeping it that way
Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish. Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior.
