Your Thunderbird and paint work
Auto paint for your 1986 Ford Thunderbird? 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.
Size and finish
We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. As a compact car, it is a straightforward size for this work. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
From request to appointment
Your quote is for your car, not a general price list. Ask anything about the work in the request. You can add a rental to the same request.
Stay on the road
A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. Rent the size of car you need for the days the work takes. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Pricing, plainly
If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price. A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly. For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work.
Looking after it afterwards
Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car. Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car.
What to bring
Ask any question you have before the work starts. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day.
When the car is ready
If you need the car back by a date, say so and we plan for it. If the car must stay overnight, we tell you before it comes in.

A short request is all it takes to get a price for your car.
