Booking the work for the Esprit
CarmaCars takes requests for rust repair on the 2002 Lotus Esprit, and rents you a car while yours is in. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
About your Esprit
Mention the trim and options, so we plan around sensors and trim pieces. Premium cars often have more trim and sensors to work around; mention any options in your request. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
Getting a price
Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. We reply within one business day with a time and a price. Your quote is for your car, not a general price list.
Driving while yours is in
A rental means the work does not stop your week. While it is repaired, rent from us: an insurance replacement rental when the repair is a claim your adjuster approves, or at our usual rates. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.
Keeping it that way
Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car. New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax.
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. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim.
How long it takes
Book a little ahead for larger jobs; small ones can be quicker to schedule. Small repairs can take hours; paint and collision work can take days.
Why prices differ
Photos let us give a closer price before we see the car in person. If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part. Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work.
