Paint touch up: your Escape
Here is how we handle scratch repair for the 2008 Ford Escape: the request, the work and a car to drive meanwhile. Light scratches can be polished out; deeper ones are filled and repainted. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
The car itself
If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. As an SUV, it has more paint, glass and interior than a small car, so the work takes longer. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
From request to appointment
Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. Ask anything about the work in the request.
Driving while yours is in
Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. A rental means the work does not stop your week. Delivery to your door is available across the Toronto area.
When the car is ready
If you need the car back by a date, say so and we plan for it. You can plan the rental for the same number of days as the work.
What goes into a quote
We price the job before we start, never after. A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly. Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match.
Looking after it afterwards
Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car. Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car.
Before you drop the car off
Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. Ask any question you have before the work starts.
Talk to a person
A person reads every request and replies with the next step.
