Paint touch up: your F-150
Your 1997 Ford F-150 and scratch repair: what to send us, what it involves, and a car to drive meanwhile. 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
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. NHTSA lists 14 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
The request
Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. Your quote is for your car, not a general price list. You can add a rental to the same request.
Need a car meanwhile?
While it is repaired, rent from us: an insurance replacement rental when the repair is a claim your adjuster approves, or at our usual rates. A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.
Pricing, plainly
For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work. Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one. Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time.
Aftercare
Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car. Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint.
How long it takes
Collect the car when it is ready, or ask us to arrange the handover. We keep you posted if the timing changes.
A few things first
Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work.
When you know your dates
Start with photos and a short description.
