Your Flex and body repair
Auto repair for the 2012 Ford Flex: tell us about the car, 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.
The car itself
A bigger body means more surface to work on, which shows in the time. As an SUV, it has more paint, glass and interior than a small car, so the work takes longer. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
What happens after you ask
We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. A person reads your request and replies with the next step. You can add a rental to the same request.
Need a car meanwhile?
Add a rental to the same request as the work. A rental means the work does not stop your week. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
Keeping it that way
Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car. Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car.
What to bring
Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to.
Why prices differ
Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one. The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes. Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work.
When the car is ready
We keep you posted if the timing changes. You can plan the rental for the same number of days as the work.

Ready when you are: send the details of the car.
