The work on your Matrix

The 2012 Toyota Matrix needs rust repair? Send photos and when it suits you. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.

What your car means for the work

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.

What to send us

Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. A person reads your request and replies with the next step. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off.

Your car is in; you are not stuck

While it is repaired, rent from us: an insurance replacement rental when the repair is a claim your adjuster approves, or at our usual rates. Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.

Keeping it that way

Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels. Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish.

When the car is ready

We confirm how long the car will be with us when we confirm the price. Tell us the date you need the car back, and we say whether it is realistic.

What goes into a quote

Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match. The same job can take more time on a car with more trim or detail. The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer.

On the day

Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule.
