The work on your Stratus
This page covers scratch repair for the 1998 Dodge Stratus, and a rental while the car is with us. 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 Stratus, up close
As a mid-size car, it is a straightforward size for this work. We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. There are 3 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. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off.
A rental meanwhile
Choose a car from our fleet for the days the work takes. Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
Aftercare
If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us. Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car.
Pricing, plainly
The size of the car matters: an SUV or a van has more surface than a compact car. Photos let us give a closer price before we see the car in person. Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one.
A few things first
Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one.
How long it takes
Collect the car when it is ready, or ask us to arrange the handover. Book a little ahead for larger jobs; small ones can be quicker to schedule.
