Paint touch up for the 1998 Ford Explorer
Paint touch up for the 1998 Ford Explorer: tell us about the car, and a person replies with a price and a time. 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.
Your Explorer, up close
A bigger body means more surface to work on, which shows in the time. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. There are 8 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
Your request
If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price.
Driving while yours is in
Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. Add a rental to the same request as the work. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
What affects the price
We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job. The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer. The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes.
How long it takes
We give you a time with the quote, so you can plan a rental for the right number of days. Small repairs can take hours; paint and collision work can take days.
Getting the car ready
Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive.
Aftercare
Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car. Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks.
Talk to a person
Book the work with a short request, and add a rental if you need one.
Request paint touch up
Tell us when suits you; we reply within one business day with a time and a price.
