The 2018 Ram 1500: Paint touch up
Need scratch repair for your 2018 Ram 1500? Tell us about the car and when suits you. 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.
About your 1500
As a pickup truck, it has more paint, glass and interior than a small car, so the work takes longer. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
Booking the work
We reply within one business day with a time and a price. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. A person reads your request and replies with the next step.
Your car is in; you are not stuck
Add a rental to the same request as the work. Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
What affects the price
If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price. We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear. A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly.
Looking after it afterwards
Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish. A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint.
How long you are without it
Collect the car when it is ready, or ask us to arrange the handover. If the car must stay overnight, we tell you before it comes in.
Getting the car ready
Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one.
