Booking the work for the Explorer
For your 2013 Ford Explorer, scratch repair starts with a short request. 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.
Size and finish
If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. As a full-size SUV, it has more paint, glass and interior than a small car, so the work takes longer. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
How to request it
A person reads your request and replies with the next step. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off.
A rental while we work
We bring the rental to you and collect it later. Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.
After the work
Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car. A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint.
A few things first
If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule.
What affects the price
Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more. The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes. If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price.
Planning around the work
We give you a time with the quote, so you can plan a rental for the right number of days. If you need the car back by a date, say so and we plan for it.

A quote costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
