The work on your Taurus
Here is how we handle scratch repair for the 2001 Ford Taurus: 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 a large sedan, it is a straightforward size for this work. 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.
Booking a time
Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. 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.
A rental while we work
While it is repaired, rent from us: an insurance replacement rental when the repair is a claim your adjuster approves, or at our usual rates. A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. Delivery starts at $75 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
After the work
A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint. Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car.
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.
What goes into a quote
The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes. The same job can take more time on a car with more trim or detail. We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job.
A few things first
If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim.
One more step
Start with photos and a short description.
