Your 1997 Dodge Viper: the work
Rust repair for the 1997 Dodge Viper: send a request and a person replies with a price and a time. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
What your car means for the work
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. NHTSA's Canadian figures put it at 4.49 m long. It fits most condo and driveway spots. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
Your request
Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. A person reads your request and replies with the next step.
A rental meanwhile
A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
Why prices differ
A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation. Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time. We price the job before we start, never after.
Getting the car ready
Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive.
When the car is ready
We give you a time with the quote, so you can plan a rental for the right number of days. If the work runs longer than planned, we let you know and you can keep the rental.
Keeping it that way
New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax. Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels.
One more step
A short request is all it takes to get a price for your car.
