Paint touch up: the 1988 Ford Thunderbird
Here is how we handle scratch repair for the 1988 Ford Thunderbird: the request, the work and a car to drive meanwhile. 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.
The car itself
If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
Getting a price
Ask anything about the work in the request. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time.
A car while yours is in
Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. A rental means the work does not stop your week. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.
On the day
If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule.
Pricing, plainly
For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work. The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes. If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price.
Timing
If the work runs longer than planned, we let you know and you can keep the rental. Parts on order can add days to a repair; we tell you when that happens.
Looking after it afterwards
Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car. Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car.
Over to you
Ready when you are: send the details of the car.
