Collision center: the 1981 Ford LTD

Collision center for the 1981 Ford LTD: send a request and a person replies with a price and a time. 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

A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.

How to request it

Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more.

Need a car meanwhile?

A rental means the work does not stop your week. Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.

After the work

Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish. If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us.

What affects the price

Ask what is included, so you can compare quotes fairly. We price the job before we start, never after. If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price.

On the day

Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. Ask any question you have before the work starts. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one.

Planning around the work

Book a little ahead for larger jobs; small ones can be quicker to schedule. A clear timeline comes with every quote.

Start with photos and a short description.
