Rust repair for the 1986 Dodge Lancer
Need rust repair for your 1986 Dodge Lancer? Tell us about the car and when suits you. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
About your Lancer
A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
Booking the work
Your quote is for your car, not a general price list. Ask anything about the work in the request. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate.
Keep driving meanwhile
A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.
How long it takes
If the car must stay overnight, we tell you before it comes in. We call or write when the car is ready, and you collect it or we arrange the handover.
Looking after it afterwards
Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior. A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint.
How the price is set
Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work. The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer. Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do.
On the day
Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Ask any question you have before the work starts.
