Booking the work for the Continental
For your 1997 Lincoln Continental, scratch repair starts with a short request. 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.
Size and finish
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
What to send us
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. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off.
Need a car meanwhile?
A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. We bring the rental to you and collect it later. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.
Planning around the work
We call or write when the car is ready, and you collect it or we arrange the handover. If the work runs longer than planned, we let you know and you can keep the rental.
Keeping it that way
Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish. Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint.
Why prices differ
Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work. For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work. Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match.
Before you drop the car off
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. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one.
Over to you
Send a request with the car and the work, and we reply with a price and a time.
