Your Capri and rust repair
CarmaCars takes requests for rust repair on the 1981 Mercury Capri, and rents you a car while yours is in. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
The car itself
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. 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.
Booking the work
We reply within one business day with a time and a price. Ask anything about the work in the request. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work.
Keep your week on track
Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
Looking after it afterwards
A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint. Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car.
A few things first
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. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim.
How the price is set
Photos let us give a closer price before we see the car in person. If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price. Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match.
How long it takes
We call or write when the car is ready, and you collect it or we arrange the handover. Pick-up time is confirmed when the work is finished.
