Paint touch up: the 2001 Mercury Cougar
The 2001 Mercury Cougar needs scratch repair? Send photos and when it suits you. 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.
Size and finish
As a compact car, it is a straightforward size for this work. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
Booking the work
Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. Ask anything about the work in the request. Your quote is for your car, not a general price list.
Keep your week on track
Add a rental to the same request as the work. We collect the rental when your car is ready. We hand every car over in person, at your address or at our location.
How long it takes
We confirm how long the car will be with us when we confirm the price. Weather and curing times can change the schedule for some work.
How the price is set
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.
What to bring
Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule.
Looking after it afterwards
Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car. Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks.

Book the work and a rental in one request.
