Booking the work for the Escort
For scratch repair on the 1986 Ford Escort, it starts with a short request: what it needs and when. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car. Light scratches can be polished out; deeper ones are filled and repainted.
What your car means for the work
If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. As a compact car, it is a straightforward size for this work. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
The request
Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. You can add a rental to the same request. Ask anything about the work in the request.
Driving while yours is in
A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. We bring the rental to you and collect it later. We hand every car over in person, at your address or at our location.
When the car is ready
A clear timeline comes with every quote. Bigger jobs are booked in a few days ahead; small ones can often be fitted in sooner.
What affects the price
If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price. Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more. A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly.
Keeping it that way
Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks. Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior.
A few things first
Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work.
