The work on your Neon
This page covers rust repair for the 2000 Dodge Neon, and a rental while the car is with us. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
About your Neon
As a compact car, it is a straightforward size for this work. A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
Getting a quote
Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. We reply within one business day with a time and a price. Ask anything about the work in the request.
Keep driving meanwhile
A rental means the work does not stop your week. Add a rental to the same request as the work. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
What to bring
Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive.
After the work
Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car. Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish.
Pricing, plainly
The same job can take more time on a car with more trim or detail. Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more. Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time.
How long it takes
We call or write when the car is ready, and you collect it or we arrange the handover. Tell us the date you need the car back, and we say whether it is realistic.
