Auto repair for the 2012 Ford Explorer: send a request and a person replies with a price and a time. This is body repair. Mechanical work such as engines, brakes and oil changes is not part of it.
About your Explorer
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
From request to appointment
Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. You can add a rental to the same request. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price.
Stay on the road
Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. We collect the rental when your car is ready. Delivery starts at $75 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
When the car is ready
Small repairs can take hours; paint and collision work can take days. Collect the car when it is ready, or ask us to arrange the handover.
Keeping it that way
If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us. Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior.
Before you drop the car off
Ask any question you have before the work starts. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work.
Pricing, plainly
The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes. We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear. Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more.
Your move
Book the work and a rental in one request.
