Your 2017 Ford Explorer: the work
The 2017 Ford Explorer needs windshield repair? Send photos and when it suits you. A small chip in the windshield can often be repaired before it spreads into a crack.
Size and finish
A bigger body means more surface to work on, which shows in the time. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. NHTSA lists 14 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
Getting a quote
Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off.
Driving while yours is in
Add a rental to the same request as the work. Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
What goes into a quote
The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes. The size of the car matters: an SUV or a van has more surface than a compact car. The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer.
How long it takes
Book a little ahead for larger jobs; small ones can be quicker to schedule. If you need the car back by a date, say so and we plan for it.
After the work
Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car. If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us.
Getting the car ready
Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim.
