The 1996 Ford Escort: Paint touch up
The 1996 Ford Escort needs scratch repair? Send photos and when it suits you. 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
A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
Booking a time
You can add a rental to the same request. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price.
Driving while yours is in
Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
What affects the price
Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do. Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match. We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job.
A few things first
Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule.
Planning around the work
Most small jobs fit within a day; larger ones are booked over several days. You can plan the rental for the same number of days as the work.
After the work
Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels. Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car.
