About your 1500
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. There are 16 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
Booking the work
If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off.

Planning around the work
We call or write when the car is ready, and you collect it or we arrange the handover. Waiting on parts is the most common reason a repair takes longer.

What goes into a quote
A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation. For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work. Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more.
