Auto paint for the 1996 Ford Thunderbird
CarmaCars takes requests for paint work on the 1996 Ford Thunderbird, and rents you a car while yours is in. 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. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
Booking a time
Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. We reply within one business day with a time and a price.
Keep driving meanwhile
We collect the rental when your car is ready. A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
After the work
Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car. Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car.
Timing
We call or write when the car is ready, and you collect it or we arrange the handover. If you need the car back by a date, say so and we plan for it.
How the price is set
A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation. Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one. We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear.
What to bring
Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive.
Make a request
Book the work with a short request, and add a rental if you need one.
