Rust repair: your Flex
For rust repair on the 2013 Ford Flex, it starts with a short request: what it needs and when. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
About your Flex
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. A bigger body means more surface to work on, which shows in the time. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
What to send us
Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price.
Driving while yours is in
While it is repaired, rent from us: an insurance replacement rental when the repair is a claim your adjuster approves, or at our usual rates. A rental means the work does not stop your week. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
Why prices differ
If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part. Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match. Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do.
Keeping it that way
Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car. Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car.
A few things first
Ask any question you have before the work starts. 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.
Timing
We keep you posted if the timing changes. Waiting on parts is the most common reason a repair takes longer.
Make a request
A person reads every request and replies with the next step.
