Your 2006 Mazda RX-8: the work
This page covers scratch repair for the 2006 Mazda RX-8, and a rental while the car is with us. Light scratches can be polished out; deeper ones are filled and repainted. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
Your RX-8, up close
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. NHTSA lists 5 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
Booking the work
A person reads your request and replies with the next step. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. Ask anything about the work in the request.
Keep driving meanwhile
Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. We collect the rental when your car is ready. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Aftercare
New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax. Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior.
What to bring
Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim.
Pricing, plainly
For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work. Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match. Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one.
How long you are without it
We give you a time with the quote, so you can plan a rental for the right number of days. Parts on order can add days to a repair; we tell you when that happens.

Book the work and a rental in one request.
