Paint touch up for the 1997 Ford Expedition
Need scratch repair for your 1997 Ford Expedition? Tell us about the car and when suits you. 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.
Size and finish
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. As a van, it has more paint, glass and interior than a small car, so the work takes longer. NHTSA lists 7 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
What to send us
If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate.
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. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
How the price is set
The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes. If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price. Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match.
Aftercare
Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car. Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish.
Planning around the work
Waiting on parts is the most common reason a repair takes longer. A clear timeline comes with every quote.
Getting the car ready
If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one.
