Booking the work for the Taurus
For scratch repair on the 2008 Ford Taurus, it starts with a short request: what it needs and when. 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.
Your Taurus, up close
As a large sedan, it is a straightforward size for this work. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
What to send us
We reply within one business day with a time and a price. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate.
Keep driving meanwhile
Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
Keeping it that way
Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car. If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us.
Timing
A clear timeline comes with every quote. Weather and curing times can change the schedule for some work.
Pricing, plainly
We price the job before we start, never after. Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time. We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear.
On the day
Leave a phone number where we can reach you during 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.
