The work on your Tribute
Your 2005 Mazda Tribute and paint work: what to send us, what it involves, and a car to drive meanwhile. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
The car itself
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
The request
You can add a rental to the same request. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. Ask anything about the work in the request.
A rental meanwhile
Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. 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. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
How long it takes
We call or write when the car is ready, and you collect it or we arrange the handover. If the work runs longer than planned, we let you know and you can keep the rental.
Why prices differ
We price the job before we start, never after. If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price. We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job.
On the day
Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to.
Keeping it that way
If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us. Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish.

A person reads your request and replies with a price and a time.
