The 1997 Dodge Ram 1500 Pickup: Paint touch up
CarmaCars takes requests for scratch repair on the 1997 Dodge Ram 1500 Pickup, and rents you a car while yours is in. Light scratches can be polished out; deeper ones are filled and repainted. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
Your Ram 1500 Pickup, up close
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
Booking the work
We reply within one business day with a time and a price. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time.
Keep driving meanwhile
Add a rental to the same request as the work. Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
How long it takes
Parts on order can add days to a repair; we tell you when that happens. Collect the car when it is ready, or ask us to arrange the handover.
Getting the car ready
If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one.
What affects the price
Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work. Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time. The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer.
Keeping it that way
A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint. New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax.
