Booking the work for the Lancer
CarmaCars takes requests for paint work on the 1987 Dodge Lancer, and rents you a car while yours is in. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
Size and finish
We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. As a mid-size car, it is a straightforward size for this work. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
From request to appointment
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. Your quote is for your car, not a general price list.
A car while yours is in
While it is repaired, rent from us: an insurance replacement rental when the repair is a claim your adjuster approves, or at our usual rates. Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. We hand every car over in person, at your address or at our location.
What goes into a quote
Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time. Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work. A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation.
On the day
Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to.
After the work
Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint. Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car.
How long it takes
Most small jobs fit within a day; larger ones are booked over several days. Bigger jobs are booked in a few days ahead; small ones can often be fitted in sooner.
