Your 2012 Dodge Challenger: the work
Book scratch repair for the 2012 Dodge Challenger, with a rental meanwhile if you need one. Light scratches can be polished out; deeper ones are filled and repainted.
Your Challenger, up close
As a mid-size car, it is a straightforward size for this work. A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
What to send us
You can add a rental to the same request. Your quote is for your car, not a general price list. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price.
Keep driving meanwhile
A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
After the work
New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax. Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car.
How long you are without it
Waiting on parts is the most common reason a repair takes longer. Small repairs can take hours; paint and collision work can take days.
What goes into a quote
If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price. We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear. We price the job before we start, never after.
Before you drop the car off
Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. Ask any question you have before the work starts.
Let us know
A person reads every request and replies with the next step.
