Booking the work for the Stratus
This page covers rust repair for the 2004 Dodge Stratus, and a rental while the car is with us. 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. We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
What happens after you ask
Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. We reply within one business day with a time and a price.
Keep driving meanwhile
Add a rental to the same request as the work. We bring the rental to you and collect it later. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
What to bring
Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Ask any question you have before the work starts. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive.
How the price is set
The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer. 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.
Aftercare
Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish. Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car.
How long it takes
You can plan the rental for the same number of days as the work. Weather and curing times can change the schedule for some work.
When you know your dates
