Auto paint for the 2012 Mazda Mazda3

CarmaCars takes requests for paint work on the 2012 Mazda Mazda3, and rents you a car while yours is in. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.

The car itself

We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.

From request to appointment

Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. Ask anything about the work in the request. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price.

A car while yours is in

A rental means the work does not stop your week. While it is repaired, rent from us: an insurance replacement rental when the repair is a claim your adjuster approves, or at our usual rates. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.

What to bring

Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together.

When the car is ready

If the car must stay overnight, we tell you before it comes in. You can plan the rental for the same number of days as the work.

Aftercare

A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint. Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish.

How the price is set

A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly. The same job can take more time on a car with more trim or detail. Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work.

One more step

Book the work with a short request, and add a rental if you need one.
