Rust repair for the 2012 Ford Fusion
For the 2012 Ford Fusion, rust repair starts with a quote from a person, never a guess. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
What your car means for the work
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. NHTSA lists 5 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
How to request it
If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate.
Driving while yours is in
Rent the size of car you need for the days the work takes. We bring the rental to you and collect it later. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
What goes into a quote
We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job. Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one. The size of the car matters: an SUV or a van has more surface than a compact car.
Aftercare
Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car. Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car.
On the day
Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one.
How long you are without it
If the car must stay overnight, we tell you before it comes in. Most small jobs fit within a day; larger ones are booked over several days.
Talk to a person
A quote costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
