RAM Certified Auto Body Repair

Collision Repair for RAM Trucks and Vans

RAM repair planning needs to account for the specific vehicle. Model year, cab configuration, bed length, van dimensions and installed equipment can all help define the assessment.

Provide your RAM’s year, model and vehicle identification number when available. For a work vehicle, explain any equipment or modifications that were involved in the impact.

Professional RAM Auto Body Repair

RAM body repair begins with identifying the affected components. A damaged panel may need repair or replacement, while surrounding attachments and mounting areas may require inspection.

Photographs can help start the conversation. An in-person assessment may be necessary to establish the repair scope, particularly when exterior damage conceals other components.

Repairing Your RAM After an Accident

Report changes such as unusual noises, steering concerns, warning lights or difficulty opening a door or tailgate. Explain whether the vehicle was carrying cargo or towing when the accident occurred.

The repair goal is to address the identified damage and restore the affected areas. The appropriate work depends on the vehicle’s condition and applicable repair requirements.

RAM Collision Repair Services

RAM Collision Repair Services

  • 1

    RAM Auto Body and Collision Damage Repair: Capitol Collision’s conventional body repair services address damaged hoods, bumpers, scratches and dents. More extensive collision repairs can involve several adjoining components. Review the estimate to understand which parts can be repaired, which need replacement and which require further inspection.

  • 2

    RAM Dent and Panel Repair: For RAM dent repair, the panel’s condition, damage location and paint finish influence the approach. A shallow dent and a sharply creased panel may require different work. Capitol Collision lists dent removal among its services. An assessment establishes whether that approach is appropriate or whether conventional panel repair and refinishing are needed.

  • 3

    RAM Bumper Repair and Replacement: Bumper damage should be assessed alongside its attachments and surrounding components. Mention damaged parking sensors, nearby exterior equipment or changes in panel fit. An estimate for RAM bumper repair should explain the proposed repair or replacement and any related work.

  • 4

    RAM Paint and Refinishing: Capitol Collision offers collision painting, factory-color matching, clear coating and touch-up services. RAM paint repair may accompany body repairs or address damaged areas of the finish. Discuss which panels need refinishing and whether the vehicle has previous paint work or commercial graphics.

  • 5

    RAM Glass and Windshield Replacement: Glass replacement is part of Capitol Collision’s service offering. Identify the damaged window and mention any camera or other equipment associated with the windshield. Ask which glass is proposed and whether the repair requires additional inspection or electronic-system work.

  • 6

    RAM Frame and Structural Repair: Capitol Collision lists frame and unibody repair among its capabilities. Where an impact suggests structural damage, further assessment helps establish the appropriate repair scope. RAM frame repair decisions need to reflect the exact vehicle and damage. Exterior photographs cannot establish the condition of every underlying component.

Why Choose RAM Certified Collision Repair?

RAM-Specific Collision Repair Knowledge

RAM-Specific Collision Repair Knowledge

Mopar identifies FCA US LLC Certified Collision Repair Facilities as a manufacturer-focused repair option and emphasizes qualified technicians and authentic OEM parts. When comparing a RAM certified body shop with other options, discuss its current designation and ability to handle your vehicle’s configuration and damage.
Appropriate RAM and Mopar Repair Procedures

Appropriate RAM and Mopar Repair Procedures

RAM repair information includes guidance covering body materials, structural sectioning, attachment methods, corrosion protection and glass installation. These topics explain why repair decisions should be vehicle-specific. A pickup and a commercial van should not be treated as interchangeable repair jobs. Ask how the recommended work relates to the damaged components and applicable manufacturer instructions.
Understanding Replacement Parts

Understanding Replacement Parts

Before authorizing repairs, review the parts proposed in the estimate. Ask whether authentic Mopar collision parts are included and discuss any alternatives. The parts selection should be clear for your particular repair. It should not depend on assumptions about a facility’s general policy.
Attention to Structural Repairs

Attention to Structural Repairs

Structural repair methods depend on the component and vehicle-specific instructions. FCA/Stellantis repair information includes defined sectioning locations, procedures and warnings that must be considered when planning work. Ask for an explanation of unfamiliar structural operations in the estimate.

RAM Truck Collision Damage Assessment

Pickup Bed and Body Damage

If the pickup bed was struck, describe the impact location and any changes in tailgate operation or the fit between adjoining panels.

A dent in the bedside may not be the only concern. The assessment needs to establish which panels, attachments and nearby components were affected.

Hidden Collision Damage

Closer inspection or removal of damaged parts can reveal damage that is not visible in exterior photographs.

Share accident photos and explain what happened. If another vehicle struck the bumper, wheel area or underside, mention that even if the body damage appears limited.

Suspension and Undercarriage Concerns

Report pulling to one side, an unusual wheel position, new noises or contact underneath the vehicle.

Capitol Collision’s published services include structural repairs and suspension component replacement. The assessment determines which services are relevant to your RAM’s damage.

Bumper, Hitch and Exterior Equipment Damage

Tell the shop if the impact involved a hitch, trailer connection, running board, toolbox or other installed equipment. Provide photographs and available installation information.

Confirm whether assessment or repair of those items falls within the shop’s scope. Include them when discussing the accident with your insurer.

Determining the Required Repair Process

Not every collision requires frame repairs, and not every damaged vehicle is repairable. Review the proposed operations, remaining inspection needs and questions about repairability.

If additional damage is discovered, discuss the revised estimate and authorization requirements before proceeding.

RAM Truck and Van Body Repair

RAM Truck and Van Body Repair

  • 1

    Pickup Bed and Tailgate Repair Assessment: For bed or tailgate damage, describe whether the tailgate opens, closes and latches normally. Mention damage to associated cameras, handles or exterior equipment. The assessment should establish which components require attention. Confirm the proposed repair or replacement work before authorization.

  • 2

    Van Body and Door Damage: For a RAM van, identify damaged side panels, rear doors or sliding doors. Explain whether the damage affects access to the cargo area. Provide the vehicle’s roof height, wheelbase and any installed shelving, partitions or other equipment so the team can confirm suitability for the job.

  • 3

    Paint Matching and Refinishing: Body repairs and refinishing address connected parts of the same repair. A damaged panel may require reshaping or replacement before its finish can be restored. Capitol Collision’s painting services include factory-color matching and clear coating. Discuss the proposed refinishing areas and any business lettering or graphics that need separate attention.

What Happens During RAM Collision Repair?

1. Initial RAM Vehicle Inspection

Begin with the vehicle information, accident details and visible damage. Photos can start the conversation, while an in-person inspection may be needed to establish the repair scope.

2. Identify Additional Repair Needs

Discuss concerns involving panel fit, the pickup bed, doors, wheel areas or undercarriage. Further inspection may be necessary where damaged parts conceal other components.

3. Prepare the Repair Estimate

Review the recommended body, structural, paint and glass work. Ask which items require further assessment and whether additional findings could change the estimate.

4. Complete the Authorized Repairs

The repair plan identifies the components to repair or replace. If the scope changes, review the additional recommendations and any required approvals.

5. Paint, Reassemble and Review

Affected areas may require preparation, color matching and refinishing after body work.

Before pickup, discuss the completed repairs, changes to the estimate and any related inspection documentation. Ask about care instructions for newly refinished areas.

RAM Models and Repair Appointments

RAM 1500, RAM 2500 and RAM 3500

For a RAM 1500, RAM 2500 or RAM 3500 estimate, provide the model year, cab configuration and bed length. Mention a dual rear-wheel configuration, modifications or installed work equipment when applicable.

RAM ProMaster and RAM ProMaster City

For a RAM ProMaster or RAM ProMaster City, provide the year, dimensions and details of the damage. Explain any cargo-area modifications that may affect access during repairs.

Manufacturer repair information differs by vehicle and model year. I-CAR’s RAM resources illustrate the importance of using vehicle-specific instructions rather than assuming pickup repair methods apply to vans.

Other RAM Trucks and Vans

Contact the team to discuss other RAM vehicles and configurations. Establish service availability before scheduling transportation or delivery.

RAM Collision Repair and Insurance Assistance

Capitol Collision states that it accepts all insurance companies and assists customers with the claim process. Have your insurer’s name, claim number and any existing damage estimate available.

For a work truck or van, identify damaged accessories and installed equipment. Ask how additional damage will be communicated, which approvals are needed and what costs may remain your responsibility.
