Your 3 and scratch repair
CarmaCars takes requests for scratch repair on the 2005 Mazda 3, and rents you a car while yours is in. Light scratches can be polished out; deeper ones are filled and repainted.
What your car means for the work
A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
The request
Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. 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.
A car while yours is in
Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. 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. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
After the work
Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior. If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us.
Planning around the work
If the work runs longer than planned, we let you know and you can keep the rental. We give you a time with the quote, so you can plan a rental for the right number of days.
What to bring
Leave a phone number where we can reach you during 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.
What goes into a quote
The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes. We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear. Photos let us give a closer price before we see the car in person.
Talk to a person
A short request is all it takes to get a price for your car.
