Your 2001 Ford Windstar: the work
Your 2001 Ford Windstar and collision repair: what to send us, what it involves, and a car to drive meanwhile. 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.
The car itself
A bigger body means more surface to work on, which shows in the time. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
How to request it
Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. Ask anything about the work in the request. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate.
A rental while we work
Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.
A few things first
Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one.
How long you are without it
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.
Pricing, plainly
The same job can take more time on a car with more trim or detail. A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation. We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear.
After the work
Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car. Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior.
Ready to ask?
Start with photos and a short description.
