The 1998 Mazda Protege: Collision centre
Need collision repair for your 1998 Mazda Protege? Tell us about the car and when suits you. 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.
About your Protege
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
Booking the work
We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. Your quote is for your car, not a general price list.
Keep your week on track
Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
Timing
We give you a time with the quote, so you can plan a rental for the right number of days. A clear timeline comes with every quote.
A few things first
Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work.
What affects the price
Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more. We price the job before we start, never after. Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work.
Aftercare
Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint. Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car.
Talk to a person
A person reads every request and replies with the next step.
