Collision center for the 2008 Ford Explorer
This page covers collision repair for the 2008 Ford Explorer, and a rental while the car is with us. 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.
About your Explorer
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
What to send us
You can add a rental to the same request. We reply within one business day with a time and a price. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more.
Driving while yours is in
A rental means the work does not stop your week. A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
Why prices differ
The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer. Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more. If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part.
How long it takes
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.
What to bring
Ask any question you have before the work starts. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive.
Looking after it afterwards
Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car. New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax.
Your move
Book the work with a short request, and add a rental if you need one.
