Booking the work for the Escape
For the 2003 Ford Escape, collision repair starts with a quote from a person, never a guess. Repairs can go through an insurance claim or be paid directly; tell us which in your request. Collision repair covers panels, bumpers, paint and, when needed, frame and structural work.
Your Escape, up close
A bigger body means more surface to work on, which shows in the time. We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
The request
You can add a rental to the same request. Ask anything about the work in the request. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time.
A car while yours is in
A rental means the work does not stop your week. We bring the rental to you and collect it later. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.
How long you are without it
We call or write when the car is ready, and you collect it or we arrange the handover. Parts on order can add days to a repair; we tell you when that happens.
Getting the car ready
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. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim.
After the work
Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish. Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels.
What goes into a quote
Ask what is included, so you can compare quotes fairly. We price the job before we start, never after. Photos let us give a closer price before we see the car in person.
