Your 1981 Mazda 626: the work
This page covers rust repair for the 1981 Mazda 626, and a rental while the car is with us. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
The car itself
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. As a mid-size 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.
How to request it
Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off.
A rental while we work
Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
How long it takes
Pick-up time is confirmed when the work is finished. Weather and curing times can change the schedule for some work.
On the day
Ask any question you have before the work starts. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive.
Keeping it that way
Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car. Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior.
Pricing, plainly
A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation. We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job. Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more.
Still deciding?
Send photos and a few details, and a person replies with the next step.
