Rust repair for the 2017 Ford Focus
Book rust repair for the 2017 Ford Focus with a short request, and rent a car while yours is in. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
The car itself
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. As a compact car, it is a straightforward size for this work. NHTSA lists 10 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
Your request
A person reads your request and replies with the next step. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time.
Need a car meanwhile?
A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
When the car is ready
Waiting on parts is the most common reason a repair takes longer. Most small jobs fit within a day; larger ones are booked over several days.
On the day
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. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to.
How the price is set
The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer. For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work. Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match.
After the work
Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car. Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels.
