The work on your MX-5
Your 2016 Mazda MX-5 needs rust repair? Send the details, and we reply within one business day. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
Size and finish
If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
The request
We reply within one business day with a time and a price. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected.
Need a car meanwhile?
Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. Delivery to your door is available across the Toronto area.
What to bring
Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule.
How long you are without it
Parts on order can add days to a repair; we tell you when that happens. Coatings and paint need time to cure, which is part of the schedule.
How the price is set
Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more. The size of the car matters: an SUV or a van has more surface than a compact car. The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer.
Looking after it afterwards
Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car. New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax.
Next step
A person reads every request and replies with the next step.
