Your 1992 Mazda MX-3: the work
The 1992 Mazda MX-3 needs scratch repair? Send photos and when it suits you. Light scratches can be polished out; deeper ones are filled and repainted.
Size and finish
A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
Booking a time
We reply within one business day with a time and a price. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected.
Your car is in; you are not stuck
We bring the rental to you and collect it later. 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. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
A few things first
Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one.
When the car is ready
Waiting on parts is the most common reason a repair takes longer. Bigger jobs are booked in a few days ahead; small ones can often be fitted in sooner.
Why prices differ
Photos let us give a closer price before we see the car in person. 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.
After the work
A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint. Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car.
Ask us
Book the work with a short request, and add a rental if you need one.
