Rust repair: the 2008 Dodge Ram
Rust repair for the 2008 Dodge Ram: tell us about the car, and a person replies with a price and a time. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
Size and finish
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. NHTSA lists 12 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
How to request it
Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. Ask anything about the work in the request.
Keep your week on track
Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.
After the work
Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car. Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish.
A few things first
Ask any question you have before the work starts. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one.
Planning around the work
You can plan the rental for the same number of days as the work. If the work runs longer than planned, we let you know and you can keep the rental.
What affects the price
For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work. Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match. The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes.
When you know your dates
Questions first? Put them in the request.
