Auto paint: the 1996 Mazda Protege
Here is how we handle paint work for the 1996 Mazda Protege: the request, the work and a car to drive meanwhile. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
About your Protege
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
Getting a price
Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. A person reads your request and replies with the next step. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more.
A car while yours is in
A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
What to bring
Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day.
Keeping it that way
Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car. Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car.
What goes into a quote
We price the job before we start, never after. Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more. Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work.
When the car is ready
We keep you posted if the timing changes. Most small jobs fit within a day; larger ones are booked over several days.
Let us know
Ready when you are: send the details of the car.
