The work on your Tribute
Your 2008 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. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
The request
Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work.
Stay on the road
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 bring the rental to you and collect it later. We hand every car over in person, at your address or at our location.
When the car is ready
If the work runs longer than planned, we let you know and you can keep the rental. Small repairs can take hours; paint and collision work can take days.
How the price is set
Photos let us give a closer price before we see the car in person. We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job. A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly.
A few things first
Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule.
Keeping it that way
Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car. Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car.
