Paint touch up: the 1998 Ford Ranger
The 1998 Ford Ranger needs scratch repair? Send photos and when it suits you. 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.
What your car means for the work
As a pickup truck, it has more paint, glass and interior than a small car, so the work takes longer. We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. NHTSA lists 5 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
What happens after you ask
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. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price.
A rental while we work
Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. 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. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
After the work
New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax. Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior.
When the car is ready
Book a little ahead for larger jobs; small ones can be quicker to schedule. We keep you posted if the timing changes.
Getting the car ready
Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule.
Why prices differ
We price the job before we start, never after. We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job. Ask what is included, so you can compare quotes fairly.
Make a request
Book the work and a rental in one request.
