Your 1997 Mazda Protege: the work
Paint touch up for your 1997 Mazda Protege? Start with a request; a person replies with a price and a time. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car. Light scratches can be polished out; deeper ones are filled and repainted.
About your Protege
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
Booking the work
We reply within one business day with a time and a price. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. You can add a rental to the same request.
Stay on the road
A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. Add a rental to the same request as the work. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.
How the price is set
Ask what is included, so you can compare quotes fairly. Photos let us give a closer price before we see the car in person. Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match.
Aftercare
New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax. Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint.
Timing
We keep you posted if the timing changes. Bigger jobs are booked in a few days ahead; small ones can often be fitted in sooner.
A few things first
Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. Ask any question you have before the work starts. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive.
