Your Explorer and collision repair
For collision repair on the 2008 Ford Explorer, it starts with a short request: what it needs and when. 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.
Your Explorer, up close
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. A bigger body means more surface to work on, which shows in the time. There are 1 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
Your request
We reply within one business day with a time and a price. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate.
Keep driving meanwhile
Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
What goes into a quote
If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price. We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear. The size of the car matters: an SUV or a van has more surface than a compact car.
What to bring
Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule.
Planning around the work
A clear timeline comes with every quote. Parts on order can add days to a repair; we tell you when that happens.
Keeping it that way
New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax. Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks.
