Your 1983 Ford Escort: the work
For the 1983 Ford Escort, scratch repair starts with a quote from a person, never a guess. 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.
Size and finish
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
From request to appointment
Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. A person reads your request and replies with the next step. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time.
Keep driving meanwhile
While it is repaired, rent from us: an insurance replacement rental when the repair is a claim your adjuster approves, or at our usual rates. Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
Keeping it that way
Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car. If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us.
How long it takes
Pick-up time is confirmed when the work is finished. Parts on order can add days to a repair; we tell you when that happens.
Before you drop the car off
Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Ask any question you have before the work starts. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work.
What goes into a quote
The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes. The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer. For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work.
