The work on your CX-7
The 2012 Mazda CX-7 needs rust repair? Send photos and when it suits you. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
About your CX-7
A bigger body means more surface to work on, which shows in the time. We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. There are 4 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
What to send us
You can add a rental to the same request. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. We reply within one business day with a time and a price.
Stay on the road
A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. Rent the size of car you need for the days the work takes. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
How long you are without it
Pick-up time is confirmed when the work is finished. Parts on order can add days to a repair; we tell you when that happens.
Looking after it afterwards
A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint. Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior.
Why prices differ
If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part. Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do. Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more.
Getting the car ready
Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. Ask any question you have before the work starts.
Over to you
Ready when you are: send the details of the car.
