Scratch repair: your Shadow
Need scratch repair for your 1989 Dodge Shadow? Tell us about the car and when suits you. Light scratches can be polished out; deeper ones are filled and repainted.
Size and finish
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
Getting a price
We reply within one business day with a time and a price. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off.
Your car is in; you are not stuck
We collect the rental when your car is ready. A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.
Why prices differ
Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more. If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part. Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do.
Aftercare
Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car. Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish.
How long it takes
Pick-up time is confirmed when the work is finished. Parts on order can add days to a repair; we tell you when that happens.
On the day
Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim.
One more step
A short request is all it takes to get a price for your car.
