The work on your LTD
Here is how we handle rust repair for the 1981 Ford LTD: the request, the work and a car to drive meanwhile. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
Size and finish
As a mid-size car, it is a straightforward size for this work. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. There are 4 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
Getting a quote
Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. Ask anything about the work in the request. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected.
A car while yours is in
Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. Rent the size of car you need for the days the work takes. Delivery to your door is available across the Toronto area.
What to bring
Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together.
Planning around the work
Parts on order can add days to a repair; we tell you when that happens. Waiting on parts is the most common reason a repair takes longer.
Why prices differ
The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes. The size of the car matters: an SUV or a van has more surface than a compact car. If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price.
After the work
Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish. Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks.
When you know your dates
Send photos and a few details, and a person replies with the next step.
