The work on your Cooper
Book rust repair for the 2003 MINI Cooper with a short request, and rent 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. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
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. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more.
A car while yours is in
Rent the size of car you need for the days the work takes. Choose a car from our fleet for the days the work takes. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.
Why prices differ
Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do. The size of the car matters: an SUV or a van has more surface than a compact car. A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly.
How long you are without it
If the car must stay overnight, we tell you before it comes in. Weather and curing times can change the schedule for some work.
On the day
Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. Ask any question you have before the work starts.
After the work
Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car. Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish.
Ready when you are
A quote costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
