Booking the work for the Model Y

CarmaCars takes requests for rust repair on the Tesla Model Y, and rents you a car while yours is in. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.

Your Model Y, up close

As a compact SUV, it has more paint, glass and interior than a small car, so the work takes longer. Premium cars often have more trim and sensors to work around; mention any options in your request. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.

Getting a price

We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. Ask anything about the work in the request. Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price.

Driving while yours is in

A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. A rental means the work does not stop your week. Delivery and pickup are both options across the Toronto area.

Looking after it afterwards

A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint. Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels.

How the price is set

The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer. The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes. Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work.

On the day

Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim.

Timing

Pick-up time is confirmed when the work is finished. Most small jobs fit within a day; larger ones are booked over several days.

One more step

A short request is all it takes to get a price for your car.
