Your LTD and collision repair
This page covers collision repair for the 1981 Ford LTD, and a rental while the car is with us. 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 LTD, up close
As a mid-size car, it is a straightforward size for this work. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
Getting a quote
We reply within one business day with a time and a price. 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.
A car while yours is in
Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. We bring the rental to you and collect it later. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
What goes into a quote
If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price. A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation. Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do.
Keeping it that way
A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint. Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks.
How long you are without it
Parts on order can add days to a repair; we tell you when that happens. We call or write when the car is ready, and you collect it or we arrange the handover.
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. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day.
