Your Caravan and rust repair
Rust repair for your 1985 Dodge Caravan? Start with a request; a person replies with a price and a time. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
The car itself
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
From request to appointment
Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. Your quote is for your car, not a general price list. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected.
A rental while we work
Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. We bring the rental to you and collect it later. Delivery to your door is available across the Toronto area.
Keeping it that way
Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint. Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car.
What affects the price
A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation. We price the job before we start, never after. The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes.
A few things first
Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. 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.
Planning around the work
Most small jobs fit within a day; larger ones are booked over several days. Bigger jobs are booked in a few days ahead; small ones can often be fitted in sooner.
Want a price?
A person reads every request and replies with the next step.
