Booking the work for the RX-8
Rust repair for the 2011 Mazda RX-8: send a request and a person replies with a price and a time. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
About your RX-8
We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. As a small car, it is a straightforward size for this work. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
The request
We reply within one business day with a time and a price. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected.
Need a car meanwhile?
Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. Add a rental to the same request as the work. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.
Aftercare
Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car. Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish.
A few things first
If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Ask any question you have before the work starts. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to.
How long it takes
Waiting on parts is the most common reason a repair takes longer. If the work runs longer than planned, we let you know and you can keep the rental.
Why prices differ
Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work. A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation. A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly.
Talk to a person
When you are ready, a short request books the work.
