The work on your Escape
Searching for collision centre for the 2003 Ford Escape? Here is how CarmaCars handles it. Collision repair covers panels, bumpers, paint and, when needed, frame and structural work. Repairs can go through an insurance claim or be paid directly; tell us which in your request.
Size and finish
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. As an 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.
Your request
Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. We reply within one business day with a time and a price. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price.
A rental meanwhile
Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. Rent the size of car you need for the days the work takes. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
Pricing, plainly
Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more. We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear. Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one.
Keeping it that way
Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint. Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior.
How long you are without it
Tell us the date you need the car back, and we say whether it is realistic. Coatings and paint need time to cure, which is part of the schedule.
What to bring
Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to.
