The 1985 Dodge Caravan: Collision centre

Collision centre for your 1985 Dodge Caravan? Start with a request; a person replies with a price and a time. 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.

About your Caravan

As a car, it is a straightforward size for this work. We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.

Getting a quote

If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. We reply within one business day with a time and a price.

Need a car meanwhile?

Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.

When the car is ready

Waiting on parts is the most common reason a repair takes longer. We confirm how long the car will be with us when we confirm the price.

Looking after it afterwards

A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint. Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car.

What to bring

Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule.

What affects the price

Photos let us give a closer price before we see the car in person. We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear. Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more.

Want a price?

A person reads your request and replies with a price and a time.
