Booking the work for the RX-8
For the 2005 Mazda RX-8, paint work starts with a quote from a person, never a guess. 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. As a small car, it is a straightforward size for this work. NHTSA lists 6 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
From request to appointment
A person reads your request and replies with the next step. Ask anything about the work in the request. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more.
Driving while yours is in
Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Keeping it that way
Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car. New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax.
When the car is ready
Tell us the date you need the car back, and we say whether it is realistic. A clear timeline comes with every quote.
What affects the price
A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation. Ask what is included, so you can compare quotes fairly. We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job.
What to bring
Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule.
Talk to a person
Send photos and a few details, and a person replies with the next step.
Request auto paint
Tell us when suits you; we reply within one business day with a time and a price.
