The work on your Cooper
Here is how we handle rust repair for the 2006 MINI Cooper: the request, the work and a car to drive meanwhile. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
About your Cooper
If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. 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.
Getting a quote
If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. 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.
Driving while yours is in
We bring the rental to you and collect it later. Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
Timing
Parts on order can add days to a repair; we tell you when that happens. We give you a time with the quote, so you can plan a rental for the right number of days.
Aftercare
Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car. If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us.
On the day
Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim.
How the price is set
Two cars of the same model can need different work, so we quote each one. A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly. We price the job before we start, never after.

Tell us about the car and the work, and we take it from there.
