Your 1981 Dodge Diplomat: the work

Your 1981 Dodge Diplomat needs scratch repair? Send the details, and we reply within one business day. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car. Light scratches can be polished out; deeper ones are filled and repainted.

The car itself

Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.

Booking a time

Ask anything about the work in the request. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price.

Stay on the road

Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.

How long you are without it

Waiting on parts is the most common reason a repair takes longer. Weather and curing times can change the schedule for some work.

Keeping it that way

Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car. Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car.

What goes into a quote

If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part. The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes. Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match.

A few things first

Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim.
