The 2002 Volvo VHD: Rust repair
Your 2002 Volvo VHD and rust repair: what to send us, what it involves, and a car to drive meanwhile. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
About your VHD
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. As a car, it is a straightforward size for this work. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
From request to appointment
We confirm the price and the time with you before any 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.
Stay on the road
Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. Rent the size of car you need for the days the work takes. We hand every car over in person, at your address or at our location.
When the car is ready
Book a little ahead for larger jobs; small ones can be quicker to schedule. If the work runs longer than planned, we let you know and you can keep the rental.
Looking after it afterwards
Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car. Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car.
How the price is set
We price the job before we start, never after. The same job can take more time on a car with more trim or detail. A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation.
A few things first
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. Ask any question you have before the work starts.
Next step
Want a quote? A request with a few photos is the fastest way.
