Booking the work for the 3
Rust repair for your 2012 Mazda 3? Start with a request; a person replies with a price and a time. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
Your 3, up close
A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. As a compact car, it is a straightforward size for this work. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
Getting a price
If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. You can add a rental to the same request. Ask anything about the work in the request.
A rental while we work
Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. We collect the rental when your car is ready. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.
How the price is set
Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one. The same job can take more time on a car with more trim or detail. Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do.
What to bring
Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule.
How long you are without it
Coatings and paint need time to cure, which is part of the schedule. You can plan the rental for the same number of days as the work.
Keeping it that way
Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish. Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels.
Your move
Send photos and a few details, and a person replies with the next step.
