Your Ram and paint work
Your 1997 Dodge Ram and paint work: what to send us, what it involves, and a car to drive meanwhile. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
The car itself
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. There are 8 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
Booking the work
We reply within one business day with a time and a price. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off.
A car while yours is in
A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. A rental means the work does not stop your week. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
Timing
A clear timeline comes with every quote. Coatings and paint need time to cure, which is part of the schedule.
How the price is set
Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time. We price the job before we start, never after. The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes.
Before you drop the car off
Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day.
After the work
Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks. Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior.
Still deciding?
A short request is all it takes to get a price for your car.
