The work on your Aries
Scratch repair for the 1981 Dodge Aries: send a request and a person replies with a price and a time. Light scratches can be polished out; deeper ones are filled and repainted.
Your Aries, up close
We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
The request
Ask anything about the work in the request. A person reads your request and replies with the next step. Your quote is for your car, not a general price list.
Keep your week on track
Rent the size of car you need for the days the work takes. A rental means the work does not stop your week. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.
A few things first
Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work.
Pricing, plainly
Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more. The size of the car matters: an SUV or a van has more surface than a compact car. For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work.
When the car is ready
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.
Keeping it that way
Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car. Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car.
Over to you
Book the work with a short request, and add a rental if you need one.
