Collision repair: the 2012 Ford Explorer
CarmaCars takes requests for collision repair on the 2012 Ford Explorer, and rents you a car while yours is in. 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.
Your Explorer, up close
We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. As an SUV, it has more paint, glass and interior than a small car, so the work takes longer. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
How to request it
Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. 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.
Keep your week on track
Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
After the work
A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint. New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax.
Before you drop the car off
Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Ask any question you have before the work starts. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive.
How the price is set
Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one. Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match. A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation.
How long it takes
You can plan the rental for the same number of days as the work. We confirm how long the car will be with us when we confirm the price.
