Your 2001 Ford Explorer: the work
This page covers scratch repair for the 2001 Ford Explorer, and a rental while the car is with us. Light scratches can be polished out; deeper ones are filled and repainted.
The car itself
A bigger body means more surface to work on, which shows in the time. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
Booking a time
Ask anything about the work in the request. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price.
Need a car meanwhile?
A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. We collect the rental when your car is ready. We hand every car over in person, at your address or at our location.
Getting the car ready
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. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule.
Planning around the work
We confirm how long the car will be with us when we confirm the price. We call or write when the car is ready, and you collect it or we arrange the handover.
Keeping it that way
Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior. Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car.
Pricing, plainly
A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly. 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.
Still deciding?
Tell us what the car needs and when it is free.

Tell us when suits you; we reply within one business day with a time and a price.
