The work on your Cooper
Rust repair for your 2012 MINI Cooper? Start with a request; a person replies with a price and a time. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
What your car means for the work
Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. 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
Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. Ask anything about the work in the request. We reply within one business day with a time and a price.
Need a car meanwhile?
We collect the rental when your car is ready. A rental means the work does not stop your week. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
When the car is ready
Most small jobs fit within a day; larger ones are booked over several days. You can plan the rental for the same number of days as the work.
Before you drop the car off
Ask any question you have before the work starts. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim.
Looking after it afterwards
Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks. Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish.
What affects the price
Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do. Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work. Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match.
Want a price?
Ready when you are: send the details of the car.
