The 1982 Dodge 400: Scratch repair

For the 1982 Dodge 400, scratch repair starts with a quote from a person, never a guess. Light scratches can be polished out; deeper ones are filled and repainted.

The car itself

As a car, it is a straightforward size for this work. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.

From request to appointment

Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. Your quote is for your car, not a general price list.

Need a car meanwhile?

Add a rental to the same request as the work. A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.

Planning around the work

Weather and curing times can change the schedule for some work. Book a little ahead for larger jobs; small ones can be quicker to schedule.

Aftercare

Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior. If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us.

Getting the car ready

Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule.

What affects the price

Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work. If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part. Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more.

Ask us

A person reads your request and replies with a price and a time.
