Windshield repair: your Taurus
This page covers windshield repair for the 2012 Ford Taurus, and a rental while the car is with us. A small chip in the windshield can often be repaired before it spreads into a crack.
Size and finish
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
Booking the work
Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. Ask anything about the work in the request. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off.
A rental meanwhile
Add a rental to the same request as the work. Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
Planning around the work
We call or write when the car is ready, and you collect it or we arrange the handover. If the work runs longer than planned, we let you know and you can keep the rental.
What affects the price
We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job. We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear. Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work.
A few things first
Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim.
Keeping it that way
Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car. A repaired chip should not spread, but have any new crack looked at early.
Over to you
Send a request with the car and the work, and we reply with a price and a time.
Request windshield repair
Tell us when suits you; we reply within one business day with a time and a price.
