Collision centre: the 2000 Ford Windstar
For the 2000 Ford Windstar, collision repair starts with a quote from a person, never a guess. 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.
About your Windstar
If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
What to send us
Ask anything about the work in the request. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. A person reads your request and replies with the next step.
A rental while we work
We collect the rental when your car is ready. Choose a car from our fleet for the days the work takes. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
What affects the price
The same job can take more time on a car with more trim or detail. Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do. If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part.
How long it takes
Tell us the date you need the car back, and we say whether it is realistic. We call or write when the car is ready, and you collect it or we arrange the handover.
Aftercare
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.
A few things first
Ask any question you have before the work starts. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive.
Over to you
A quote costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
