Rust repair for the 2003 Dodge Stratus
For the 2003 Dodge Stratus, rust repair starts with a quote from a person, never a guess. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
About your Stratus
We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
The request
We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. A person reads your request and replies with the next step.
A car while yours is in
A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. Rent the size of car you need for the days the work takes. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
Aftercare
Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior. New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax.
How long you are without it
If the car must stay overnight, we tell you before it comes in. Waiting on parts is the most common reason a repair takes longer.
Getting the car ready
Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. 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.
What goes into a quote
A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly. Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match. We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job.
When you know your dates
Send a request with the car and the work, and we reply with a price and a time.
