| just bought 06 mazda3 ..needs reputable/honest autobody (and fuel injectors cleaned?)
am now an owner of my first 'new' used car in a while: a 2006 mazda3 hatch with the 2.3 litre engine.
purchase was a private sale, one owner, no accidents or claims, always serviced from her surrey mazda dealer....
manual, has 75,000km.
a few things:
1/since it was mostly city driven, would it make any sense to get the fuel injectors professionally cleaned for $125ish? i've read on some blogs that it's a waste of money (and to use a good chevron w techron gas, or even aftermarket 'redline' or 'seafoam' cleaners) while others seem its' a good idea.
2/there was a slight dent in driver's side door and rocker near bottom of drivers door ...slightly pushed in...she says she ran over some median upon pulling out of a parking lot...and the slight dent in her door suggest someone slightly dinged her very slightly (maybe pulling out in parking lot?) in another incident... both are purely cosmetic, not structural in any way (even says the mazda dealer/mechanic too)...but it's subtle and i'd like to get it fixed.
it's confusing for the consumer in seeking autobody estimates: i've had quotes ranging from $1000 to $2500 with some saying a new skin required while others saying not so....so if anyone can recommend a reputable/honest autobody person who is in north van or burnaby area, then kindly let me know...I could do a cash deal/no reciept if i can get a good price since it's out of my own pocket (and being single i have to watch the dolleros).
