Rust repair for the 1998 Ford Taurus
Book rust repair for the 1998 Ford Taurus, with a rental meanwhile if you need one. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
What your car means for the work
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
Your request
Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. We reply within one business day with a time and a price. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected.
A rental meanwhile
Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. A rental means the work does not stop your week. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.
Why prices differ
The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer. Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work. Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more.
A few things first
Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim.
Keeping it that way
A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint. Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish.
How long it takes
Most small jobs fit within a day; larger ones are booked over several days. Book a little ahead for larger jobs; small ones can be quicker to schedule.
One more step
