Rust repair: your Explorer
Your 1995 Ford Explorer and rust repair: what to send us, what it involves, and a car to drive meanwhile. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
Size and finish
As a van, it has more paint, glass and interior than a small car, so the work takes longer. We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
What happens after you ask
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. Rent the size of car you need for the days the work takes. We hand every car over in person, at your address or at our location.
Planning around the work
Most small jobs fit within a day; larger ones are booked over several days. Pick-up time is confirmed when the work is finished.
Why prices differ
Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time. If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price. A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation.
Keeping it that way
Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car. Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car.
What to bring
Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Ask any question you have before the work starts. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive.
Questions first?
A person reads every request and replies with the next step.
