The 1996 Mercury Sable: Auto paint
Book paint work for the 1996 Mercury Sable with a short request, and rent 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
As a mid-size car, it is a straightforward size for this work. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. NHTSA lists 5 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
What to send us
If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. You can add a rental to the same request. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off.
Keep your week on track
Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.
When the car is ready
If you need the car back by a date, say so and we plan for it. Small repairs can take hours; paint and collision work can take days.
Aftercare
Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish. Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels.
Pricing, plainly
For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work. Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more. We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job.
A few things first
If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one.
Ready when you are
A quote costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
