The work on your 3
Book rust repair for the 2005 Mazda 3 with a short request, and rent a car while yours is in. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
About your 3
A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
Getting a quote
Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. Ask anything about the work in the request. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected.
Your car is in; you are not stuck
Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
After the work
If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us. Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior.
Why prices differ
We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear. The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer. Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work.
What to bring
Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim.
When the car is ready
If you need the car back by a date, say so and we plan for it. Bigger jobs are booked in a few days ahead; small ones can often be fitted in sooner.
Talk to a person
A short request is all it takes to get a price for your car.
