Collision centre: the 1990 Ford Thunderbird
Your 1990 Ford Thunderbird and collision repair: what to send us, what it involves, and a car to drive meanwhile. 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.
About your Thunderbird
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
Getting a price
You can add a rental to the same request. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected.
Driving while yours is in
Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. We bring the rental to you and collect it later. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
Getting the car ready
Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive.
Aftercare
Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks. Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint.
How the price is set
Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time. The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes. A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly.
How long you are without it
Parts on order can add days to a repair; we tell you when that happens. Small repairs can take hours; paint and collision work can take days.
