Your Ram and scratch repair
Need scratch repair for your 2008 Dodge Ram? Tell us about the car and when suits you. Light scratches can be polished out; deeper ones are filled and repainted.
About your Ram
We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
How to request it
Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. Ask anything about the work in the request. You can add a rental to the same request.
Your car is in; you are not stuck
A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.
Looking after it afterwards
Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car. A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint.
Timing
Waiting on parts is the most common reason a repair takes longer. You can plan the rental for the same number of days as the work.
On the day
Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim.
Pricing, plainly
The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes. Photos let us give a closer price before we see the car in person. Ask what is included, so you can compare quotes fairly.
Ready to ask?
Send a request with the car and the work, and we reply with a price and a time.
