The work on your Mirada

Book rust repair for the 1981 Dodge Mirada, with a rental meanwhile if you need one. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.

What your car means for the work

Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.

Your request

Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. A person reads your request and replies with the next step. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate.

Keep your week on track

A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. Choose a car from our fleet for the days the work takes. Delivery starts at $75 plus distance; collecting the car yourself is free.

What affects the price

A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation. Photos let us give a closer price before we see the car in person. Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more.

After the work

Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint. Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels.

When the car is ready

Tell us the date you need the car back, and we say whether it is realistic. Waiting on parts is the most common reason a repair takes longer.

On the day

Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive.

Over to you

A short request is all it takes to get a price for your car.
