Your 2002 Ford Explorer: the work
This page covers body repair for the 2002 Ford Explorer, and a rental while the car is with us. This is body repair. Mechanical work such as engines, brakes and oil changes is not part of it.
What your car means for the work
If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. As an SUV, it has more paint, glass and interior than a small car, so the work takes longer. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
What happens after you ask
A person reads your request and replies with the next step. We reply within one business day with a time and a price. You can add a rental to the same request.
A rental while we work
Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. While it is repaired, rent from us: an insurance replacement rental when the repair is a claim your adjuster approves, or at our usual rates. Delivery starts at $75 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
After the work
Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior. If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us.
Pricing, plainly
Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time. Ask what is included, so you can compare quotes fairly. We price the job before we start, never after.
What to bring
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. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day.
How long it takes
Tell us the date you need the car back, and we say whether it is realistic. Most small jobs fit within a day; larger ones are booked over several days.
Ready when you are
Send photos and a few details, and a person replies with the next step.
Request auto repair
Tell us when suits you; we reply within one business day with a time and a price.
