Auto paint: your Ram
Your 2008 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
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. There are 12 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
What to send us
We reply within one business day with a time and a price. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time.
Keep your week on track
Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.
Why prices differ
Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match. Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work. The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes.
A few things first
Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive.
Looking after it afterwards
Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car. Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car.
Timing
Pick-up time is confirmed when the work is finished. Parts on order can add days to a repair; we tell you when that happens.
Questions first?
A person reads every request and replies with the next step.
Request auto paint
Tell us when suits you; we reply within one business day with a time and a price.
