Paint touch up: your Taurus
For your 1998 Ford Taurus, scratch repair starts with a short request. 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.
What your car means for the work
We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. As a mid-size car, it is a straightforward size for this work. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
From request to appointment
Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. You can add a rental to the same request. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off.
Keep your week on track
A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. 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.
When the car is ready
You can plan the rental for the same number of days as the work. Collect the car when it is ready, or ask us to arrange the handover.
Keeping it that way
Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car. Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint.
What affects the price
Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work. The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer. If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part.
On the day
Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Ask any question you have before the work starts. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to.
Over to you
Book the work with a short request, and add a rental if you need one.
