Your 1997 Mazda 626: the work
This page covers collision repair for the 1997 Mazda 626, and a rental while the car is with us. Collision repair covers panels, bumpers, paint and, when needed, frame and structural work. Repairs can go through an insurance claim or be paid directly; tell us which in your request.
Size and finish
A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. 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.
From request to appointment
A person reads your request and replies with the next step. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off.
A rental while we work
Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. We bring the rental to you and collect it later. We bring the car to your address in the Toronto area, or you collect it for free.
Keeping it that way
Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish. A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint.
How long you are without it
Parts on order can add days to a repair; we tell you when that happens. If you need the car back by a date, say so and we plan for it.
Getting the car ready
If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work.
Why prices differ
Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work. Ask what is included, so you can compare quotes fairly. The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes.
