The work on your Windstar
Here is how we handle scratch repair for the 2003 Ford Windstar: 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.
Your Windstar, up close
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. NHTSA lists 8 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
Getting a quote
Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off.
Stay on the road
We collect the rental when your car is ready. A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
Looking after it afterwards
If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us. Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car.
Before you drop the car off
Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day.
Timing
We call or write when the car is ready, and you collect it or we arrange the handover. Bigger jobs are booked in a few days ahead; small ones can often be fitted in sooner.
What goes into a quote
Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work. If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price. We price the job before we start, never after.
One more step
Send photos and a few details, and a person replies with the next step.
