Paint touch up for the 1996 Ford Taurus
This page covers scratch repair for the 1996 Ford Taurus, and a rental while the car is with us. 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
A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. NHTSA lists 6 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
The request
We reply within one business day with a time and a price. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work.
A rental meanwhile
Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. Rent the size of car you need for the days the work takes. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.
Looking after it afterwards
Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish. A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint.
Pricing, plainly
The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes. For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work. Photos let us give a closer price before we see the car in person.
What to bring
Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together.
Planning around the work
Collect the car when it is ready, or ask us to arrange the handover. Small repairs can take hours; paint and collision work can take days.
When you know your dates
Tell us about the car and the work, and we take it from there.
