Your 1985 Ford Thunderbird: the work
The 1985 Ford Thunderbird needs collision repair? Send photos and when it suits you. 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.
The car itself
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. 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.
Booking a time
Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. Ask anything about the work in the request.
Keep driving meanwhile
A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Before you drop the car off
Ask any question you have before the work starts. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule.
Looking after it afterwards
Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint. Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car.
What goes into a quote
We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job. If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part. Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work.
How long it takes
We give you a time with the quote, so you can plan a rental for the right number of days. Waiting on parts is the most common reason a repair takes longer.
