About your LTD
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
Getting a price
If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. You can add a rental to the same request. Ask anything about the work in the request.
Keep driving meanwhile
Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. Add a rental to the same request as the work. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
How long it takes
We keep you posted if the timing changes. Small repairs can take hours; paint and collision work can take days.
Looking after it afterwards
Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car. Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car.
What goes into a quote
A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation. For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work. A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly.
On the day
Ask any question you have before the work starts. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one.
