Paint touch up: your Cougar
CarmaCars takes requests for scratch repair on the 2000 Mercury Cougar, and rents you a car while yours is in. 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.
What your car means for the work
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. 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.
The request
Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. 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.
Your car is in; you are not stuck
Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.
Getting the car ready
Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim.
After the work
Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car. Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish.
Timing
If the car must stay overnight, we tell you before it comes in. Pick-up time is confirmed when the work is finished.
What goes into a quote
Photos let us give a closer price before we see the car in person. A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation. Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time.
Your move
Book the work and a rental in one request.
