Rust repair: your Ram
Here is how we handle rust repair for the 2012 Dodge Ram: the request, the work and a car to drive meanwhile. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
The car itself
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. There are 10 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
Booking a time
A person reads your request and replies with the next step. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more.
Stay on the road
Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. Delivery starts at $0 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.
How the price is set
Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time. The same job can take more time on a car with more trim or detail. Ask what is included, so you can compare quotes fairly.
What to bring
If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim.
Keeping it that way
If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us. Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car.
How long it takes
Collect the car when it is ready, or ask us to arrange the handover. We give you a time with the quote, so you can plan a rental for the right number of days.
Over to you
Start with photos and a short description.
