Collision centre: the 1997 Ford Taurus
Book collision repair for the 1997 Ford Taurus, with a rental meanwhile if you need one. 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.
What your car means for the work
As a mid-size car, it is a straightforward size for this work. We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
Booking the work
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. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work.
Need a car meanwhile?
Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. We bring the rental to you and collect it later. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.
What to bring
Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive.
What goes into a quote
A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly. Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more. Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do.
Keeping it that way
Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint. Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks.
How long it takes
A clear timeline comes with every quote. Waiting on parts is the most common reason a repair takes longer.
