Your Windstar and scratch repair
For scratch repair on the 1996 Ford Windstar, 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.
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. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
Booking a time
Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more.
Your car is in; you are not stuck
We collect the rental when your car is ready. Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
What affects the price
Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match. If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part. If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price.
A few things first
Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim.
How long you are without it
If the car must stay overnight, we tell you before it comes in. We confirm how long the car will be with us when we confirm the price.
Aftercare
Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels. Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint.
Ready when you are
