Booking the work for the Diplomat

Auto paint for your 1981 Dodge Diplomat? Start with a request; a person replies with a price and a time. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.

What your car means for the work

As a mid-size car, it is a straightforward size for this work. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.

From request to appointment

Your quote is for your car, not a general price list. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate.

Driving while yours is in

Add a rental to the same request as the work. We collect the rental when your car is ready. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.

Getting the car ready

If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day.

How long you are without it

Pick-up time is confirmed when the work is finished. Waiting on parts is the most common reason a repair takes longer.

What affects the price

If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price. We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job. Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do.

Keeping it that way

If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us. Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car.
