Booking the work for the Ram
The 2012 Dodge Ram needs body repair? Send photos and when it suits you. This is body repair. Mechanical work such as engines, brakes and oil changes is not part of it.
About your Ram
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
Getting a quote
Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time.
Driving while yours is in
We collect the rental when your car is ready. We bring the rental to you and collect it later. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
Keeping it that way
Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior. A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint.
What goes into a quote
The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes. Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do. If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part.
A few things first
Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. 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.
When the car is ready
If the car must stay overnight, we tell you before it comes in. Book a little ahead for larger jobs; small ones can be quicker to schedule.

A person reads every request and replies with the next step.
