Rust repair: your RX-8
For the Mazda RX-8, rust repair starts with a quote from a person, never a guess. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
The car itself
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
From request to appointment
You can add a rental to the same 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.
Keep driving meanwhile
We bring the rental to you and collect it later. A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.
Looking after it afterwards
Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car. Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint.
On the day
Ask any question you have before the work starts. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one.
What affects the price
If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part. Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more. Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do.
Timing
We call or write when the car is ready, and you collect it or we arrange the handover. Collect the car when it is ready, or ask us to arrange the handover.
