Rust repair for the 1982 Mazda RX-7

This page covers rust repair for the 1982 Mazda RX-7, and a rental while the car is with us. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.

Your RX-7, up close

We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. There are 1 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.

Getting a quote

Your quote is for your car, not a general price list. A person reads your request and replies with the next step. You can add a rental to the same request.

A rental while we work

Rent the size of car you need for the days the work takes. Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.

What to bring

Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work.

Looking after it afterwards

Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car. Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks.

How long you are without it

Collect the car when it is ready, or ask us to arrange the handover. Most small jobs fit within a day; larger ones are booked over several days.

What goes into a quote

The size of the car matters: an SUV or a van has more surface than a compact car. We price the job before we start, never after. The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer.

One more step

When you are ready, a short request books the work.
