The work on your Explorer
Book rust repair for the 2020 Ford Explorer, with a rental meanwhile if you need one. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
The car itself
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
What to send us
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. Ask anything about the work in the request.
Driving while yours is in
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.
On the day
Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive.
Pricing, plainly
The same job can take more time on a car with more trim or detail. Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time. The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer.
Timing
Book a little ahead for larger jobs; small ones can be quicker to schedule. We confirm how long the car will be with us when we confirm the price.
Looking after it afterwards
Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels. Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car.
