Paint touch up: the 1988 Ford Taurus

Searching for paint touch up for the 1988 Ford Taurus? Here is how CarmaCars handles it. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car. Light scratches can be polished out; deeper ones are filled and repainted.

About your Taurus

We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. As a wagon, it is a straightforward size for this work. 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

You can add a rental to the same request. Your quote is for your car, not a general price list. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work.

Stay on the road

A rental means the work does not stop your week. Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. We hand every car over in person, at your address or at our location.

After the work

Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car. Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car.

Timing

Collect the car when it is ready, or ask us to arrange the handover. Coatings and paint need time to cure, which is part of the schedule.

Why prices differ

Photos let us give a closer price before we see the car in person. Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work. If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price.

Getting the car ready

Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Ask any question you have before the work starts.
