Your 1982 Ford LTD: the work

CarmaCars takes requests for rust repair on the 1982 Ford LTD, and rents you a car while yours is in. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.

What your car means for the work

We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.

Getting a quote

A person reads your request and replies with the next step. Ask anything about the work in the request. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate.

A rental meanwhile

A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.

Pricing, plainly

The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer. Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one. A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly.

Keeping it that way

Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car. Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car.

Getting the car ready

Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim.

How long you are without it

If the work runs longer than planned, we let you know and you can keep the rental. Small repairs can take hours; paint and collision work can take days.

Still deciding?

Tell us about the car and the work, and we take it from there.
