Booking the work for the Ram
Your 1996 Dodge Ram needs rust repair? Send the details, and we reply within one business day. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
Size and finish
As a car, it is a straightforward size for this work. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. With a length of 6.10 m, it counts as long. Measure your parking spot or garage first. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
How to request it
You can add a rental to the same request. Ask anything about the work in the request. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate.
A rental while we work
Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
Keeping it that way
Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car. Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint.
On the day
If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. Ask any question you have before the work starts.
What goes into a quote
The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer. If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price. Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time.
When the car is ready
Small repairs can take hours; paint and collision work can take days. Weather and curing times can change the schedule for some work.
When you know your dates
When you are ready, a short request books the work.
