The work on your Shadow
For the 1988 Dodge Shadow, rust repair starts with a quote from a person, never a guess. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
The car itself
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
From request to appointment
Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. You can add a rental to the same request. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected.
Keep your week on track
Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. Choose a car from our fleet for the days the work takes. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.
After the work
Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior. If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us.
Planning around the work
Coatings and paint need time to cure, which is part of the schedule. Book a little ahead for larger jobs; small ones can be quicker to schedule.
Getting the car ready
Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day.
Pricing, plainly
Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do. Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more. Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work.

Start with photos and a short description.
