Rust repair: the 2002 Dodge Ram

CarmaCars takes requests for rust repair on the 2002 Dodge Ram, and rents you a car while yours is in. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.

Your Ram, up close

If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.

How to request it

Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. A person reads your request and replies with the next step. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time.

Need a car meanwhile?

We bring the rental to you and collect it later. Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.

What goes into a quote

We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear. The same job can take more time on a car with more trim or detail. The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes.

Keeping it that way

Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish. New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax.

Before you drop the car off

If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Ask any question you have before the work starts. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one.

How long it takes

We keep you posted if the timing changes. If the car must stay overnight, we tell you before it comes in.
