Rust repair: your 600
For your 1985 Dodge 600, rust repair starts with a short request. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
Your 600, up close
We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
Getting a price
Ask anything about the work in the request. 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.
Keep your week on track
Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. Delivery to your door is available across the Toronto area.
After the work
Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint. Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car.
Why prices differ
We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear. Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one. A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation.
How long it takes
A clear timeline comes with every quote. Weather and curing times can change the schedule for some work.
What to bring
Ask any question you have before the work starts. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work.
Still deciding?
Start with photos and a short description.
