Booking the work for the Lynx
Book scratch repair for the 1985 Mercury Lynx with a short request, and rent a car while yours is in. 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.
Your Lynx, up close
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. As a compact car, it is a straightforward size for this work. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
Booking the work
Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. Your quote is for your car, not a general price list. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off.
A rental while we work
Choose a car from our fleet for the days the work takes. A rental means the work does not stop your week. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
A few things first
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. Ask any question you have before the work starts.
Why prices differ
The size of the car matters: an SUV or a van has more surface than a compact car. The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer. If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price.
After the work
New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax. Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car.
Timing
Weather and curing times can change the schedule for some work. Pick-up time is confirmed when the work is finished.
