Your 1989 Ford Thunderbird: the work
Here is how we handle scratch repair for the 1989 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.
About your Thunderbird
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
Your request
If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off.
Keep driving meanwhile
Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. Rent the size of car you need for the days the work takes. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
On the day
Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule.
Timing
We keep you posted if the timing changes. Pick-up time is confirmed when the work is finished.
Looking after it afterwards
Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car. Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car.
What affects the price
Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do. Photos let us give a closer price before we see the car in person. We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job.
