Your Explorer and windshield repair
For windshield repair on the 2001 Ford Explorer, it starts with a short request: what it needs and when. A small chip in the windshield can often be repaired before it spreads into a crack.
What your car means for the work
We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
From request to appointment
Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. You can add a rental to the same request. A person reads your request and replies with the next step.
Keep driving meanwhile
Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. We bring the rental to you and collect it later. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
What to bring
If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one.
Pricing, plainly
For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work. We price the job before we start, never after. Ask what is included, so you can compare quotes fairly.
Planning around the work
Small repairs can take hours; paint and collision work can take days. If the car must stay overnight, we tell you before it comes in.
Keeping it that way
Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car. Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car.
Let us know
Ready when you are: send the details of the car.

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