Auto paint for the 1989 Ford Thunderbird
Auto paint for your 1989 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.
The car itself
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.
Your request
We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. Ask anything about the work in the request.
Driving while yours is in
We collect the rental when your car is ready. 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.
How the price is set
We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job. Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work. The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes.
A few things first
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. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule.
After the work
Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels. Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior.
Planning around the work
If the car must stay overnight, we tell you before it comes in. Book a little ahead for larger jobs; small ones can be quicker to schedule.
Talk to a person
Book the work and a rental in one request.
