The work on your Windstar
For the 2000 Ford Windstar, 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.
About your Windstar
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
What to send us
Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off.
A rental while we work
Rent the size of car you need for the days the work takes. A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.
Getting the car ready
Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day.
How the price is set
Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match. We price the job before we start, never after. For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work.
Timing
Bigger jobs are booked in a few days ahead; small ones can often be fitted in sooner. Coatings and paint need time to cure, which is part of the schedule.
After the work
Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car. If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us.
