Your 2004 Ford Explorer: the work
Here is how we handle scratch repair for the 2004 Ford Explorer: the request, the work and a car to drive meanwhile. Light scratches can be polished out; deeper ones are filled and repainted.
What your car means for the work
As an SUV, it has more paint, glass and interior than a small car, so the work takes longer. A bigger body means more surface to work on, which shows in the time. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
From request to appointment
If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. You can add a rental to the same request.
A rental meanwhile
Add a rental to the same request as the work. Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.
Planning around the work
Waiting on parts is the most common reason a repair takes longer. We keep you posted if the timing changes.
Why prices differ
Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match. For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work. Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one.
A few things first
If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Ask any question you have before the work starts. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day.
Aftercare
Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks. New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax.

Send a request with a few photos, and we reply with a price.
