Rust repair: your Cooper
This page covers rust repair for the 2004 MINI Cooper, and a rental while the car is with us. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
What your car means for the work
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
From request to appointment
Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. Ask anything about the work in the request. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate.
A rental meanwhile
Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. Choose a car from our fleet for the days the work takes. The handover is in person, at your address or at our location.
After the work
Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior. Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels.
Why prices differ
For repairs, the price depends on the parts, the paint and the hours of work. We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job. We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear.
When the car is ready
If you need the car back by a date, say so and we plan for it. Waiting on parts is the most common reason a repair takes longer.
A few things first
Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to.
Questions first?
Start with photos and a short description.
