Your Protege and collision repair
Your 1997 Mazda Protege needs collision repair? Send the details, and we reply within one business day. 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
If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
Booking the work
If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. We reply within one business day with a time and a price. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work.
Your car is in; you are not stuck
We bring the rental to you and collect it later. A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
Timing
Waiting on parts is the most common reason a repair takes longer. We confirm how long the car will be with us when we confirm the price.
A few things first
Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. Ask any question you have before the work starts.
Aftercare
Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car. A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint.
How the price is set
Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time. The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes. If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part.
