The work on your Durango
Scratch repair for the 1998 Dodge Durango: tell us about the car, and a person replies with a price and a time. Light scratches can be polished out; deeper ones are filled and repainted.
What your car means for the work
A bigger body means more surface to work on, which shows in the time. We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. It is 4.91 m from end to end. Check the size of a tight parking spot. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
The request
A person reads your request and replies with the next step. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price.
Your car is in; you are not stuck
We bring the rental to you and collect it later. A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Pricing, plainly
Ask what is included, so you can compare quotes fairly. For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work. We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job.
A few things first
Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Ask any question you have before the work starts. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive.
Keeping it that way
Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car. If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us.
Timing
Small repairs can take hours; paint and collision work can take days. Coatings and paint need time to cure, which is part of the schedule.
Still deciding?
Want a quote? A request with a few photos is the fastest way.
