The work on your Cooper
For the 2009 MINI Cooper, rust repair starts with a quote from a person, never a guess. 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. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
Getting a quote
Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price.
Need a car meanwhile?
Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. We bring the rental to you and collect it later. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.
What to bring
Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day.
When the car is ready
We confirm how long the car will be with us when we confirm the price. A clear timeline comes with every quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car. Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car.
Why prices differ
We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job. Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match. The size of the car matters: an SUV or a van has more surface than a compact car.
