Your 1997 Ford Taurus: the work
Your 1997 Ford Taurus and rust repair: what to send us, what it involves, and a car to drive meanwhile. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
Your Taurus, up close
A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
What to send us
We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. We reply within one business day with a time and a price.
Keep driving meanwhile
We bring the rental to you and collect it later. Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.
Timing
You can plan the rental for the same number of days as the work. We call or write when the car is ready, and you collect it or we arrange the handover.
How the price is set
For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work. Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work. We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job.
Aftercare
Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car. Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior.
Before you drop the car off
Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule.
One more step
Tell us what the car needs and when it is free.
