Compare Mazda rust removal repair quotes from specialist garages

Mazda is named after Ahura Mazda, the Iranian-Zoroastrian God of intelligence, wisdom and harmony. Since the company was founded in 1920, it has built a reputation for creating efficient, sporty vehicles that are fun to drive. It's also famous for creating the rotary engine, which uses fewer moving parts than a traditional piston-based engine and features in several Mazda models, including the 1969 Luce R130 coupe.

The Mazda MX-5 Roadster has been listed as the best-selling two-seater car in the Guinness Book of World Records several times. It was also used to make history in 2022, breaking the record for the largest parade of Mazda cars with 707 MX-5s.

Car rust and paint repair is sometimes a necessity for older vehicles and those that have previously been involved in a collision. There are several ways to remove rust, such as mechanical removal (which uses grinders, wire brushes, sand blasters and sandpaper) and acidic rust removal (which involves applying acid to the area).

If the rust is minimal, you could attempt a rust spot repair at home; however, it's easy to cause more damage if you don't follow the proper steps. By comparison, a rusted car frame repair is much more complex. Extensive rust can compromise a vehicle's structural integrity, so it's best to let a professional repair it.

One of the best ways of preventing rust, particularly on your vehicle's chassis, is to book a car underseal specialist who will apply a thick, resilient coating to the underbody, protecting it from stones and debris.
