Booking the work for the Stratus
Here is how we handle paint work for the 1997 Dodge Stratus: the request, the work and a car to drive meanwhile. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
About your Stratus
We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
From request to appointment
Ask anything about the work in the request. 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.
Keep your week on track
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. Choose a car from our fleet for the days the work takes. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
Aftercare
A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint. Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car.
On the day
Ask any question you have before the work starts. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim.
Pricing, plainly
We price the job before we start, never after. Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time. If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price.
Planning around the work
Most small jobs fit within a day; larger ones are booked over several days. If you need the car back by a date, say so and we plan for it.
Ready when you are
A quote costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
