    Scratch repair: your Explorer

    This page covers scratch repair for the 2025 Ford Explorer Platinum, and a rental while the car is with us. Light scratches can be polished out; deeper ones are filled and repainted.

    What your car means for the work

    If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. There are 22 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.

    The request

    You can add a rental to the same request. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work.

    Planning around the work

    If the work runs longer than planned, we let you know and you can keep the rental. Collect the car when it is ready, or ask us to arrange the handover.

    Looking after it afterwards

    If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us. A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint.

    Getting the car ready

    Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive.

    What goes into a quote

    Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do. The size of the car matters: an SUV or a van has more surface than a compact car. Ask what is included, so you can compare quotes fairly.

    A note on Java

    Java is about 1,639 km from Toronto, outside our delivery area. We rent from Toronto only. If your trip to Java starts in the Toronto area, rent the car here.

    Let us know

    A quote costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
