The 1990 Ford Taurus: Rust repair
CarmaCars takes requests for rust repair on the 1990 Ford Taurus, and rents you a car while yours is in. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
The car itself
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. NHTSA lists 6 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
Booking the work
We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. Your quote is for your car, not a general price list. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more.
Driving while yours is in
Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. Add a rental to the same request as the work. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.
When the car is ready
We keep you posted if the timing changes. Bigger jobs are booked in a few days ahead; small ones can often be fitted in sooner.
Before you drop the car off
If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. 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.
Looking after it afterwards
Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car. If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us.
Pricing, plainly
We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job. For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work. The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes.
