Your Ram and collision repair
This page covers collision repair for the 1998 Dodge Ram, and a rental while the car is with us. 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.
The car itself
As a car, it is a straightforward size for this work. At 5.81 m long, it is a big car to work on, which shows in the time and the price. It measures 5.81 m long by 2.00 m wide. Measure your parking spot or garage first. There are 13 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
Getting a price
Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. A person reads your request and replies with the next step. You can add a rental to the same request.
A rental meanwhile
Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. We collect the rental when your car is ready. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
After the work
Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car. New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax.
What goes into a quote
If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part. The same job can take more time on a car with more trim or detail. A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation.
How long you are without it
Parts on order can add days to a repair; we tell you when that happens. Most small jobs fit within a day; larger ones are booked over several days.
A few things first
Ask any question you have before the work starts. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work.
