Your 1989 Mazda MPV: the work
The 1989 Mazda MPV needs rust repair? Send photos and when it suits you. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
About your MPV
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. As a van, it has more paint, glass and interior than a small car, so the work takes longer. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
How to request it
Ask anything about the work in the request. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. We reply within one business day with a time and a price.
A car while yours is in
A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. We bring the rental to you and collect it later. We hand every car over in person, at your address or at our location.
Getting the car ready
If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one.
How the price is set
Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time. If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part. The same job can take more time on a car with more trim or detail.
Keeping it that way
Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior. New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax.
Timing
Tell us the date you need the car back, and we say whether it is realistic. Pick-up time is confirmed when the work is finished.
Talk to a person
Send a request with the car and the work, and we reply with a price and a time.
