The work on your Explorer
Windshield repair for the 2003 Ford Explorer: send a request and a person replies with a price and a time. A small chip in the windshield can often be repaired before it spreads into a crack.
The car itself
If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
Your request
We reply within one business day with a time and a price. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time.
Driving while yours is in
A rental means the work does not stop your week. Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
What affects the price
A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation. The same job can take more time on a car with more trim or detail. For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work.
When the car is ready
Waiting on parts is the most common reason a repair takes longer. If the work runs longer than planned, we let you know and you can keep the rental.
Getting the car ready
Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive.
Keeping it that way
If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us. Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior.

Ready when you are: send the details of the car.
