New Ford Custom 2025 with £5,000? of Damage by thieves we fix it and save the customer over £4,800!

Описание: A customer came in to us days earlier with similar damage after thieves had broken into his new Ford Transit and he told us he had been quoted £5000 by Ford for the repair and would need to go on a waiting list to get the new door!

We have a great looking repair shield for the New Ford Custom and we painted it to the colour code of the van ahead of time. We fitted the repair shield, we changed the broken latch / central locking mechanism in the door and fitted our weapon of an internal shield at the same time. This was a fast and cost effective repair method, much more so that having the damaged repaired by the main dealer or a body repair shop.
