Rust repair for the 1998 Dodge Durango
Here is how we handle rust repair for the 1998 Dodge Durango: the request, the work and a car to drive meanwhile. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
What your car means for the work
As a van, it has more paint, glass and interior than a small car, so the work takes longer. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. At 4.91 m from bumper to bumper, it is on the long side. Check the size of a tight parking spot. There are 4 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
Booking the work
We reply within one business day with a time and a price. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. Ask anything about the work in the request.
Your car is in; you are not stuck
Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. We bring the rental to you and collect it later. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.
Why prices differ
Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one. If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part. The size of the car matters: an SUV or a van has more surface than a compact car.
Aftercare
Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint. Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks.
Before you drop the car off
Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule.
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.
When you know your dates
Send a request with the car and the work, and we reply with a price and a time.
