Your 2012 Ford Fiesta: the work
For your 2012 Ford Fiesta, rust repair starts with a short request. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
About your Fiesta
A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
Getting a price
Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more.
Keep driving meanwhile
Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. Choose a car from our fleet for the days the work takes. We hand every car over in person, at your address or at our location.
How long you are without it
A clear timeline comes with every quote. Tell us the date you need the car back, and we say whether it is realistic.
On the day
Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule.
Looking after it afterwards
A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint. Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks.
How the price is set
A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly. For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work. If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part.
