The work on your Windstar
Auto paint for your 2000 Ford Windstar? 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.
About your Windstar
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
Getting a price
Ask anything about the work in the request. 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 your week on track
Add a rental to the same request as the work. Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
How the price is set
Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time. The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes. The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer.
After the work
Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish. Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels.
How long you are without it
Parts on order can add days to a repair; we tell you when that happens. Book a little ahead for larger jobs; small ones can be quicker to schedule.
On the day
Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day.
