The 2003 Dodge Ram: Auto repair
Your 2003 Dodge Ram and body repair: what to send us, what it involves, and a car to drive meanwhile. This is body repair. Mechanical work such as engines, brakes and oil changes is not part of it.
Your Ram, up close
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. With a length of 6.26 m, it counts as long. Measure your parking spot or garage first. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
Booking the work
Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. You can add a rental to the same request. Your quote is for your car, not a general price list.
Driving while yours is in
Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. Rent the size of car you need for the days the work takes. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.
Why prices differ
A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly. For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work. Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one.
After the work
Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car. Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint.
Timing
We give you a time with the quote, so you can plan a rental for the right number of days. Pick-up time is confirmed when the work is finished.
What to bring
Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Ask any question you have before the work starts. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work.
One more step
Send photos and a few details, and a person replies with the next step.
Request auto repair
Tell us when suits you; we reply within one business day with a time and a price.
