Collision center: the 1985 Dodge Caravan

Your 1985 Dodge Caravan needs collision repair? Send the details, and we reply within one business day. Collision repair covers panels, bumpers, paint and, when needed, frame and structural work. Repairs can go through an insurance claim or be paid directly; tell us which in your request.

Size and finish

A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.

Booking the work

Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more.

Driving while yours is in

Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. We bring the rental to you and collect it later. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.

Why prices differ

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. A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation.

How long you are without it

We give you a time with the quote, so you can plan a rental for the right number of days. If the work runs longer than planned, we let you know and you can keep the rental.

Keeping it that way

A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint. Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels.

A few things first

Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together.

Ready when you are

A quote costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
