The work on your Escort
For the 1987 Ford Escort, scratch repair starts with a quote from a person, never a guess. 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
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
Booking the work
A person reads your request and replies with the next step. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. Ask anything about the work in the request.
Stay on the road
Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
When the car is ready
Collect the car when it is ready, or ask us to arrange the handover. Parts on order can add days to a repair; we tell you when that happens.
Getting the car ready
Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Ask any question you have before the work starts. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to.
Aftercare
If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us. Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish.
What affects the price
A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation. Ask what is included, so you can compare quotes fairly. We price the job before we start, never after.
Over to you
Tell us about the car and the work, and we take it from there.
Request paint touch up
Tell us when suits you; we reply within one business day with a time and a price.
