Collision center: the 2018 Ford Explorer
For the 2018 Ford Explorer, 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.
Size and finish
If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. As a full-size 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.
The request
If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time.
A rental while we work
Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. Delivery to your door is available across the Toronto area.
Planning around the work
We keep you posted if the timing changes. Coatings and paint need time to cure, which is part of the schedule.
What affects the price
A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation. Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match. If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part.
Before you drop the car off
Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Ask any question you have before the work starts.
Keeping it that way
Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior. Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels.
When you know your dates
Tell us what the car needs and when it is free.
