Booking the work for the Thunderbird
Book scratch repair for the 1997 Ford Thunderbird with a short request, and rent a car while yours is in. 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.
The car itself
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
What to send us
You can add a rental to the same request. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price.
Need a car meanwhile?
A rental means the work does not stop your week. Add a rental to the same request as the work. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
On the day
Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one.
How long it takes
We give you a time with the quote, so you can plan a rental for the right number of days. Parts on order can add days to a repair; we tell you when that happens.
Why prices differ
We price the job before we start, never after. If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part. Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work.
Keeping it that way
A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint. If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us.
Ask us
Book the work with a short request, and add a rental if you need one.
